LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

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!

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

How did I not know this existed??? It takes a couple tries to figure out how it works but once you do then the light repair is immediate. Type LED Keeper in your browser to look at a picture & description.

I was ready to throw out 3 Sets of LED lights where half the string didn’t work. This device worked exactly as advertised and helped me figure out the burned out bulb in each string. Once the defective bulb was replaced, the lights worked perfectly. Be sure to follow along the instructional video. This is 100% worth the investment.

Just repaired 8 strings of GE lights that I thought were goners. Some strings had a bad section, some strings only had a short good section. Looked like a nightmare, but wifey said, Lets at least try that tool. Fair enough. Plug a set into an outlet. Mark the start point and end point of the section that wont light. Unplug from wall and plug into the tool. Now, lets say you identified a dark section of 30 lights. Go to the 15th light and squeeze the tester on the wire to that light. In most cases, either lights 1-15 will light, or lights 16 through 30 will light. Lets say lights 1-15 light up. Excellent. Now you KNOW that your naughty LED is hiding among lights 16-30. Time to test again. Where? Split the difference: which in this hypothetical scenario would be around light 23. Squeeze the tester on the wire going into light 23 and... the lights before it or the lights after it will light up! Aha. So your naughty light is hiding among the dark lights... and all you need to do is keep narrowing it down until you hit it. Sometimes you find it quickly, sometimes it takes a little longer. Some of the strings I fixed had 4 or 5 bad lights - which meant doing this process several times, each time on a different section. But I look at it this way: $30 for a tool that just saved me 8x$20=$160 worth of lights. NOTE!! What does a GOOD light look like vs a BAD light? The bad bulb often (not always) has a bad wire on it. To help give you and idea what I mean, take a look at the pictures: One of the wires has burned off of the bad LED. Compare that to the good LED in the other picture: two wires, both intact. Every once in a while (1 out of 15 in my case) you will find a bad LED that looks perfectly good. Fortunately, the tool has a little socket on it so you can test good looking bulbs.

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!

I have had the Light Pro for incandescent Christmas lights for years and it works great. Its quick and easy. The LED keeper is much harder to use and when you find the problem their correction is not ideal. I watched all the videos and they made it look easy, but its not as easy as it looks. I was a general contractor for over 45 years and know my way around electricity. I bought this unit thinking it was going to be easy. It maybe for you, but it wasnt for me.

It doesnt work with built in Christmas tree lights....

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.

Do you get frustrated because your GD Christmas lights stop working for half the strand and it’s a giant PITA to figure out which bulb is bad? So you just crumple the malfunctioning lights in a pile and go buy more lights and forget about the broken ones for several months? If this sounds like you too, this is totally worth it. I saved 3 strands of LED Christmas lights today! took me less than 5 minutes per strand and now I don’t have to buy 3 more $10-12 strands of lights so it’s basically paid for itself.
