LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

This light tester saved 5 of my 6 strings of icicle lights! I didnt know how well this would work with icicle lights but it turns out it works great and is very easy to use. When I pulled my lights out this year 5 of the strings didnt fully light so I bought a couple more strings of lights. As I was hanging one of the old string of lights half of that string went out which now equaled 6 total strings that didnt work. I already had it on the house and didnt want to take it down so we decided to get this tester. I tested it out on one of the strings not on the house and BOOM right off the bat I fixed a string. I eventually got on the roof and fixed the string while it was still attached to the roof. Over all I was able to fix 5 of the 6 strings that didnt work. One string even had ALL of the lights out and I was able to fix it! The bulb tester works great and the bulb remover on the end is a finger saver! Soooo glad we bought this! Now Ive pulled all the working bulbs out of my string I couldnt fix and Im going to use those bulbs for replacements down the road. BUY BUY BUY this tester!

I was going bonkers last weekend because of the 11 light strands we use during Christmas, 6 of them had a section out. I googled fixing Christmas lights and thankfully this product came up. I watched one of the videos the company has and decided to give this a try. There certainly is a bit of a learning curve (watch the videos!), but I was able to fix four of the strands tonight until I ran out of replacement bulbs (a fifth one randomly started working again). I accidentally tore the entire housing off of the first strand because the bulb was stuck, so put one of the pods on and it lit right up! I went to our backyard, which has a different kind of lights, and I had to fix at least three bulbs, which took a while. But the strand eventually worked again! On these strands, the wires were wound very tightly, so it was hard to fit the keeper in sometimes, but I was able to unwind the wires after pulling on them a bit. Thankfully, I found the bulb on the fourth strand very quickly, probably also because I had some good practice under my belt at this time. I saved about $100 in new Christmas lights by getting the LED Keeper!

At first it was uh-oh...then Wow - I repaired all 4 sets of string lights within 15 minutes. All sets were identical with identical symptoms, that is half the string didnt light. My first string, after following the instructions, I placed the tool in the midsection of the failed half and pulled the trigger. Per the instructions, one side should light while the other side remains dark...but in my case both ends lit up! After checking the instructions and their website, there was no mention of what to do in my case...I almost gave up until I decided to just check the fuses in the power plug and noticed one of the fuses was loose. After pushing the loose fuse back into place, the light worked! Second string: I checked the fuse but they looked fine. So I tried the tool, and this time I was able to follow the instructions as one side did not light, and was able to pinpoint the faulty LED. Actually the LED itself was fine, it was just loose from its socket. Third string: The fuses were fine, and just like the 2nd string I was able to pinpoint the loose LED. Fourth string: This time the faulty LED had its connectors twisted in such a way that it missed the connection to the socket contacts. Simply straightening out the LED wire connectors with my fingernail fixed it. The tool probably saved me at least 3 hours of frustrating work trying to check every bulb!

My nativity scene had some strands dimming, this helped me pinpoint 2 bad bulbs causing issue. Get one now!

Very impressed with this product. I first thought it was a gimmick item, but the videos are clear and easy to understand, and they explain the products functionality. You do need to watch the video, and it will not only explain how the product works but provides you the knowledge on how the light sets function. After watching the video, it took me less than 10 minutes to fully diagnose and repair my prelit Christmas tree! I am a hero now!

Couldnt get to work at first, and almost threw it in the trash due to frustration. The video tutorial was helpful, but could get no lights to light up at all, on a working or non working strand. Decided to change the 9V battery, even though the red indicator light turned on when I squeezed the trigger. So CHANGE THE BATTERY before you get mad and throw it away. Was fairly easy to work after that. Although still required some effort because I found I had multiple bulbs out and a bad socket on a single section of strand.

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.

This didn’t work for me on a large string of c6 LED bulbs as some bulbs flickered so faintly it was difficult to isolate. I imagine it would work better on small bulbs. Also I’m buying shorter strings going forward as it will be easier to fix.

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!

Works great, there were no instructions so I searched You Tube (how to fix LED Christmas lights) a video popped up with this tool. i watched it twice. I had a 300 string led set I purchased last year because I thought they lasted longer but low and behold I put them up and just like every Christmas some did not work. In about 15 min. I fixed my string which had 3 bulbs out. I then went outside and fixed the C6 led lights on my Christmas tree in about 5 minutes. I read other reviews who said the trigger was hard to squeeze and sometimes you had to pinch the wire a few times. I had none of those problems. Prior to buying it would have cost me $52 to buy new lights. So for $25 bucks which is a week of Dunkin Doughnut coffees I purchased the tool. Well worth the money. All my lights work now and a total of 20 minutes was spent. I highly recommend the product and look forward to more lights going out so I can fix them. JUST BUY IT!!!!!!
