LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

Pretty easy to use and it will save you a ton of money by not having to replace lights every single year. Me and my husband put up a large Christmas display and spend hundreds on lights every year. This will help us cut down on what we spend on replacement lights.

If it weren’t for this tester I would have thrown out 3 strands of lights so far, and I still have a ton to put up outside. When part of the strands were out this tester made it incredibly easy to narrow down where the bad bulb was. I was able to find the bad ones within minutes versus hours replacing individual bulbs to find it. The tester kicks ass and is easy to use. Save yourself a headache and especially money and get this to save your lights! I highly recommend it!

It does exactly what its supposed to. At the end of the season I had 3 strings of lights that only had half of the bulbs working. I was ready to label the strings and try to hide the dead spots next year. It took a little while to get the hang of it, but by the last strand it only took 15 minutes to find and fix the problem. I actually had 2 bad bulbs on that strand. I cant imagine how long it would have taken without this. Now all of my lights are ready to go for next year. The clamp tester and bulb tester both work great. I didnt get a chance to try the fuse tester and the bulb remover was not the right size for my external light string.

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.

There are some things that are predictable karma rules - 1) A flock of Pigeons will gather immediately after you have just detailed your car 2) The wind will blow just after you have raked the fall leaves into a nice pile, and 3) It will rain the day after you finish stringing up the Christmas lights. The first two problems are dealt with through a little more effort, and perhaps some sort of crystal therapy....but the third problem means that at least one or more of your Christmas lights will short out as the water finds its way into the light set. In the old school non-led world of Christmas lights, this was not much of a problem. But since I switched to LED, the problem has gotten much worse, and it seems that every year I wind up replacing several strands of those expensive buggers. So, enter this device which promises to find and fix the trouble LEDs. Yay! I watched the video, it seemed simple enough, so I ordered it, and collected my strands of dead LED lights to finally get some control over the spiraling cost of replacement. Or at least, that was the plan..... So by now, you are probably getting the idea that this is a negative review. It is probably a 3 star product, but I took away an extra star because it also broke my heart...never giving me the satisfaction of salvaging my light strands. Heres why: 1) The directions on the package are pretty useless., there are all sorts of gizmos and do-dads on the device, but the only one that is explained is the little hook thingy that you use to test the wires. 2) The product works by trying to short back to the plug, causing the lights on the string to light up, and then uses ptotato chip bag clips to mark the spot to replace the bulb. But heres the thing, to do the test, you must unravel the twisted strands of the wires leading to EACH AND EVERY bulb, and test it one at a time. It is tedious, and since the device pierces through the strand wires to make contact, a negative reading occurs frequently, even if the bulb is good. What is the fix? CUTTING OUT the bad bulb and attaching a shorting (shunt) bar - which is like a fancy wire nut. You are given 2! I had more than 2 on the first string alone! 3) Testing on a net light, I could never even FIND the problem. Had to call the technical service - who suggested it might be the transformer - and then informed me that it is probably beyond repair. Nice! I could have bought two new strands of lights for the cost of a device that tells me to go buy strands anyway... Each of the 4 net lights I tested (each taking about 30 minutes each to test) had the mysterious transformer problem. Sigh.

I had my led light strand fixed in an about 10 minutes. Read the instructions which are folded inside the purple/yellow cardboard inserted in the package. It’s not intuitive, but once you read the instructions, it will all make sense.

I was a skeptic but decided to try it. It works and is easy to use. I just rescued 11 strings of lights in a fraction of the time it would take to test bulb by bulb.

Works and pays for itself after a couple of strings. Tip.... the keepers test prongs are very tiny which makes sense but sometimes wouldnt make contact with the wire. Once i was mindful on centering the wire during trigger pulls i was off and running. Also found that if wires still dont light up you could be between 2 bad bulds which happened to me twice and took me a minute to figure that out.

I go all out with Christmas decorating. My husband knows to leave the house when I’m decorating, as nothing pushes my buttons worse than lights that don’t work! I went to put my outdoor lights up a few weeks ago, and EVERY strand had a least 1 section that wouldn’t light. At $25 a strand, I decided to try the LED keeper and see if by any chance I could repair them. This morning, in less than 20 minutes, I have easily repaired 4 strands of lights! It’s easy to use, works great, and reduces my blood pressure!!!

I see some very critical reviews of this tool. I personally did not run into any problems mentioned. In the course of about 30 minutes I was able to repair 6 strings of led lights, saving them from the landfill. Looking forward to fixing the remaining strings I have laying around.
