LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

Makes finding the problem spot so much easier.

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!

It found 2 bad Bulbs in the icicle lights very quickly! I marked the bad section with the clips provided and narrowed down the problem. So much quicker than pulling about 36 bulbs one at a time! Thanks for a great product!

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

Year after year we have tons of icicle lights that all of a sudden won’t work after being stored. After years of purchasing new sets and wasting so much money we decide to try this and it is so helpful. We were able to save about 80% of the strands that weren’t lighting up by pinpointing dead bulbs and replacing them. It’s tedious work but worth it.

Sometime on Christmas Eve, one of our hanging garlands went 1/2 out. I decided to get the LED light fixer, knowing that we have all LED lights and the cost will be worth it. I followed the instructions in the package, each time seeing what lights illuminated. Eventually I was able to narrow it down to 1 bulb, which I then replaced with a new bulb and my garland was fully lit again! If any lights on my tree go dark, this will be the first thing I try. Id rather replace a lightbulb than my whole tree. Its worth the cost, but it might be something to grab on after Christmas clearance, if you can!

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.

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.

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

Got this yesterday, have fixed two long strings of light and one string of lights on an animatronic reindeer. Paid for itself in under thirty minutes of use. I highly recommend watching the how to use video on the companies website. I had previously tried multiple fixes to include a multimeter and a non contact electrical tester with no luck. This thing is awesome and does what it claims to do.
