LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

This is a game changer if you have LED christmas lights that need to be fixed. Love it

This thing is such a time saver. I have not been happy about a product as I am about this one. My kid is now second best in this house. Great product

I received this yesterday. After reviewing the instructions I was able to repair a strand of lights within 20-25 minutes. The repair of next 5 strands went much quicker. Well worth the money to salvage lights, otherwise theyd of went in the trash.

I did NOT want to spend money on this thing. But after several hours of googling and youtubing trying figure out how to diagnose and fix my half lit led christmas tree decor I came to the conclusion as every one of the articles and videos I watched...do it. The instructions werent great but I watched a video on how to use it before it arrived so I was ready to go. In less than 10 minutes I found three bad bulbs and had them replaced and had a fully functional light tree again. My only complaint is I didnt do it sooner. I shudder thinking about how many strings of led lights Ive tossed thinking they were unrepairable.

Like this companies LIGHT KEEPER PRO for incandescent christmas tree bulbs which we have been using for years to quickly and effectively show and fix burnt out bulbs, this LED version if INDISPENSIBLE If you own LED light set or LED lighted ornamentals with replaceable bulbs! WILL NOT WORK IF BULBS NOT REPLACEABLE! youll be throwing away your light set AND YOUR MONEY when cheap LED light sets burn out! YES, cheap non-replaceable LEDs DO NOT last 50,000 as LEDs are suppose to! BOTTOM LINE...ALWAYS BUY LIGHT SETS WITH REPLACEABLE BULBS!

Replace the battery that comes with it. I thought mine was defective and then used my own battery and it has worked like a charm.

Sliced Bread has nothing on this thing. Best thing EVER. If you use LED Christmas (or other holiday) lights, they WILL go bad, and you WILL spend hours and/or money fixing or replacing them. Unless you buy this thing. Ill just give you the punch line first: Those repairs that normally take 20 to 30 minutes to find/repair --- you can do them in about 2 minutes with this thing. (If youve done this before, you probably dont believe that it can be done this quickly, but its true! I have one of those crazy light-shows: hundreds of strands of lights, almost all of them LED, timed to music. As you may know, the bulbs start to corrode/rust/fail after a year or so of use. Most consumer grade strands dont have a stay-lit feature when a single bulb burns out, and even the ones that do, dont always work as expected. When a bulb burns out (or more likely, the leads have rusted or corroded) half of the strand goes out, and you have to pull out every bulb until you can find it, often snapping off the leads to other bulbs in the process. If youve got more than one failed light, youll probably never fix the strand. I normally have 5 to 10 failed strands per year, replacing them costs about $10 per strand; fixing them takes about a half hour per strand, unless I get really lucky. Ive fixed about 8 to be repaired strands from years past and 5 strands that I was going to replace this year, in less time than it would normally take to repair one strand. You can read the instructions for the thing, or watch the online videos, but here it is in a nutshell: First you plug the strand in to an outlet to see what half (if any is lighting) you use a little marker clip to remind you which light was the last working light. Next you plug the strand into the outlet on the tool, and you use the tool to hold and pierce the light cord about half way down the burned out part of the strand. The half that doesnt light up has the bad bulb or bulbs, you mark the spot and keep finding the bad half usually in about 3 to 5 checks, youve isolated the bulb, and can replace it, and youre done. After youve done it the first time, youll be fixing them in under two minutes. The tool even has little, easy to use sockets to test the lights individually, and to test the tiny fuses that the lights come with. It also comes with a couple of easy to use jumpers in case there is a problem with the wire or socket where the light is showing failed. (Not a common problem...) I wish the little cord were a bit longer to make it easier to fix lights that are in the deployed position without having to take them down, but a decent extension cord actually does the trick. Its so fast and easy, youll enjoy it... This is a MUST HAVE if you maintain LED Christmas Lights!

Overall this is a must have if you have led Christmas lights. Super easy to use. Lots of great YouTube videos on how to use. The only reason I gave 4stars instead of 5, is the manual does not mention how to use the fuse and lamp tester. After watching a YT video, I quickly understood how to use the device. I super quickly fixed a string of lights.

I was easily able to repair 3 - 25 ft sections of dual color LED Christmas lights. If I had to replace these lights, it was going to cost me $58 each set with today’s inflated prices. This tool is well worth the money. I would recommend watching YouTube video on how to use this if you are a beginner like I was. I feel like a pro now!

Very easy to use and even finds multiple failures in one section. The only problem is after a few years outside, hanging in loops that sway in the wind, I get a lot of failures! The leads corrode and break with the wind. When I purchase a new string, I may squirt weatherproof electrical sealant into the sockets. I also bought a pack of 500 3mm LEDs. I can swap out the bad bulb and put a new one into the plug part. Just remember, the long lead goes towards the end with the little latch tab. It wont work the other way.
