LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

It only takes about 3 minutes to solve a problem with a 150 light string very happy that I bought this!!!!

Great little device to save time and money instead of buying lights every year when a half of the string dies and you cant figure out which bulb is bad. There is a learning curve if you follow the instructions. But once you get the hang of it you can go through a string of bulbs in a matter of minutes and find your bad one. Brought back to life six strings of lights that I knew were bad. It has the function to test the lightbulb, fuse and the string of wires. Good investment instead of having to run out and replace your lights.

Driving to my moms and I see a LED snowman sitting on the side of the road with a FREE sign hanging from it. Why not! Get it home thinking I could use my mini light keeper. Nope I needed this one. Since I had success with the mini light, I ordered this one. Took a bit of time to figure it out the process but using the pods, I was able to restore it and it look great! I ordered more pods in case the need ever arises. Highly recommend these repair tools.

Did not use had no LED light but keep anyway may is use in the future

A single strand of lights on our Balsam Hill prelit LED tree wouldn’t light when we setup our tree. The tree was purchased in Jan 2021. Using this keeper, we identified the bulb that needed replaced and had the full tree lit in 10 minutes. The clips were so useful!

I wasnt sure if it would work with icicle light sets but it does. It works, is easy to use and is worth the money spent. This is one time saving multi tool that I never knew I needed.

So this tool helped me repair 3 long LED sets that were completely out. It would have cost me about $75 to replace the sets so I decided to try this tool instead. With it, I was able to find and replace many bad LEDs in the sets so that they worked again. It took me about an hour per set. In the end, I ended up replacing 15 bulbs total. Heres the BIG BUT if youre thinking of buying this. Do you have plenty of LEDs lying around to replace the bad ones? This does not include replacement bulbs. Remember that LEDs are NOT universal. Every set seems to use a different shaped base on its bulbs. I used an x-acto Knife to reshape the bases of the LEDs I had lying around to fit in different sets. On 2 of my other sets, I gave up because the bases were badly corroded. This kit includes 2 replacements for corroded bases so after that what are you going to do? Also, in my case, even though I got the sets working, what happens when they fail again? Im out of bulbs and once they are on the house, Im not taking them back down to troubleshoot in the winter. The bulbs are all the same age so it stands to reason that there will be plenty more failing soon. After this season, I will be buying new sets on clearance. So the decision is yours. How old are your sets? Do you have the patience to troubleshoot? Do you have lots of spare bulbs? Are you sure its just a bulb issue and not corroded sockets? The tool works. Start halfway up the set and work your way down the line. It lights up what works and easily tests individual bulbs once you remove them. It comes with a 9V battery installed and ready to go. If you have lots of bulbs out, test one at a time using the tool crimping the wire until you start finding bad ones (start at the end closest to the plug. Good luck!

I had two outdoor reindeer that had partial LED light strands out. I monkeyed around with a voltage tester, voltameter and randomly swapping out lights to try and find the culprit for hours - to no avail. I bought this in hopes of salvaging the reindeer or not having to rerun new light strands. After 15 mins, I found the 3 dead bulbs and the reindeer are as good as new. Save yourself the trouble and just buy this tool. Specifically for pre-lit trees/decorations, the probes on a voltameter are almost impossible to insert and get lined up on both sides of the terminal with such little room, the voltage tester is too sensitive to get an accurate reading with the way they wrap the strands and you continually get false readings, and swaps are only good if you only have 1 bad light. If youre curious how it works, this tool injects very small probes in through the insulator and completes the circuit at a specific spot in the line, by-passing half of the strand. With process of elimination you will find your bad bulb/bulbs in no time.

I have had the Light Pro for incandescent Christmas lights for years and it works great. Its quick and easy. The LED keeper is much harder to use and when you find the problem their correction is not ideal. I watched all the videos and they made it look easy, but its not as easy as it looks. I was a general contractor for over 45 years and know my way around electricity. I bought this unit thinking it was going to be easy. It maybe for you, but it wasnt for me.

this took a few minutes and with already socketed LED it went quickly. Read for next year. C9 LED outdoor ready. I like it. Thank you.
