LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

I hate hate hate Xmas lights. I hate that when one bulb goes out, you have to spend ages finding the bad one. This amazing simple tool cut that process down to 20 minutes. I had to check 5 strings of 100 lights. I found bad 8 bulbs and 1 torn wire. This set had the pod replacements for the torn wire. Such a life saver. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

You still have to check every light. Haven’t taken the time to figure out how

I gave it 4 stars for value for money. However, as far as I know, theres nothing else out there, and this tool is allowing me to repair existing sets. The other problem I have is that I still have a lot of incandescent sets, and I have to spend the money all over again to do my incandescent sets ... (incandescent tester is a little less expensive, but still a little pricey). Maybe Ill breakdown and buy the incandescent tester next year.

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

I honestly think this was a life saver. Anyone reading reviews before purchasing this product has to know that this requires patience at first. Once you get the hang of it, troubleshooting stringed LED light failures will be a breeze. Here is how i used it for my icicle led lights. 1) Plug your light into a socket and identify a section where the lights dont work. 2) Use the clamps to identify the section. 3) Plug the light into the Repair tools socket and pick a random section between the clamps 4) I prefer to use the last led found on the icicle light as it is easy to isolate a single wire to do the testing. 5) Once you position the wire and pull the trigger observe if any lights light up. If it doesnt find another spot to test within the section. 6) If a portion of the LEDs do glow, then you move the clamps closer narrowing the section that doesnt work. Repeat steps 3-5 7) Once you are down to a single icicle and observe 2 or 3 that never lights up, you can bet one of those LEDs need replacing. Ive repaired four 70 inches long in hour replacing around 10 micro LED lights. The first one took a good 20 to 30 minutes.

Love this product! Saved me from throwing away my LED Christmas lights strand. I was able to locate the faulty led light bulbs and replace them. Voilà, lights are working again. Highly recommend this if you want to save money from having to buying more light sets!

Not as easy to use as the red Light Keeper (for incandescent light strings), but if you follow the directions carefully, it does resurrect most of your defunct LED strings. I had seven or eight strings that didnt work at all, or only half the lights worked (you know what I mean). At first, try after try, I simply could not get it to work, so back to the instructions -- and VWAHLAH!!! Theres a note to keep your hands well away from the part of the string you are testing, because your hands can provide enough conductivity to give faint, intermittent beeps...and you just cant find the bad bulb. Of course, its natural for you to want to hold the string exactly in the wrong place, so you get very frustrated with inconsistent, intermittent, faint beeping. When I finally learned to keep my ham hands at least six inches away from where I was testing, suddenly the thing worked perfectly. I did have one string where I just could not find the fault...I think there may have been several bad bulbs or a broken wire. But all the rest are now working. Where the problem isnt a bad bulb, but a bad socket, you can cut out the faulty socket, and they give you a couple of pods you can use to jump the wires across the gap. SECRET: two pods dont last long. Theyll gladly sell you more for about $2 a pod. Forget it. Use cheap screw-on wire nuts. The ones I had were a little to big to screw down tight, so I inserted a piece of toothpick into the hole in the nut, and it tightened them just dandy.

I had 2 LED strands that were defective. Instead of going to Walmart and replacing them, I gave this LED Repair a try. It was much cheaper than 2 strands and it saved me the trip to Walmart. Now, I don’t have to dispose defective lights. I highly recommend

I really hate dealing with Christmas lights that dont work. I have thrown out many a string just to save myself the headache of trying to find the problem. This year I had a segment of an LED net light that stopped working after it was on a bush in front of the house. I decided to try this product to see if I could find the issue. I tried it first on a regular string of LED lights that I pulled a bulb out of and followed the instructions and it worked just as advertised. I figured the net lights would be a bit more complicated given the grid and all. It was. The trick for the net lights was figuring out the wiring pattern. It was basically just a zig-zag line. Once I figured that out, it was nothing to find the offending light. Once I found it, I tried trading it out for a light that I knew worked and...that did the trick...the previously bad segment worked and the previously good segment stopped working (because I put a bad bulb in it). I replaced the bulb and it works fine now. Since the net light was on the bush when I was doing all of this, I had to use an extension chord between the product and the plug on the lights. The addition of the extension chord did not hinder its use at all. All in all, it took me about 15 minutes to find the problem. But now that I know how the net lights work, I think the next time would take a small fraction of that.

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.
