UBVRI light curves are obtained for the two halo RR Lyrae variables U Caeli with period 0.420 days (73 observations) and V Caeli with period 0.571 days (42 observations). It is shown that their light curve characteristics are very similar to those of field RR Lyrae stars.

Fourier decompositions are studied for all five magnitudes and the resulting amplitude ratios and phase differences are discussed. The differences in the Fourier decomposition parameters between the five magnitudes are shown to be relatively small. Comparisons of the Fourier decomposition parameters for the two halo RR Lyrae stars with recently published data for field RR Lyrae stars show no systematic differences.
