Light Keeper Pro-the Complete Tool for Fixing Your Christmas Lights

Updated on August 23, 2022

Light Keeper Pro

Every year I take out my Christmas decorations and dread the thought that my lights aren't going to work. Unfortunately, that means I will have to fiddle with them until I am so frustrated that I end up throwing them away or putting them back for storage for another year. I have found a new tool to help you repair Christmas lights quickly.

It is an all-in-one tester and makes repairing sets of mini lights easy. I check for continuity and easily pull bad bulbs out. I store extra bulbs in the handle. I used the tool to test fuses, which came with a battery, so I used it out of the package. It is sure to be one of the best tools for the holiday season and is something I will use yearly. I found it simple to use, and it comes with an instruction set that I saved and will refer to every Christmas decorating season to refresh my memory.

I have already used my tool and tested my first wrong strand of lights. I was amazed at how much time I saved doing repairs. I can even use it on my Halloween strands since I have several I put back in the storage box when they failed to light this year. Now I can get other Christmas decor because I don't have to get more lights this year now they are repaired. I love it, and I plan to give my girls one of their own as part of their holiday gift. I think they will enjoy how easily they can use it. I am one of those moms who ensures everyone is happy during the holidays.

How LightKeeper Pro Works

Faulty Bulb shunts cause most light set defeats. So instead, plug your LightKeeper Pro into the light string and pull the switch. The LightKeeper Pro sends a pulsation via the light set, locates the faulty bulb, and repairs the shunt, permitting the light set to operate flawlessly.

Repairing faulty lights will save money and keep your Christmas lighting in tip-top shape. It will save you frustration too. Do you know how troubling it is when the tree is up, and one of the light strings fails to light up due to a defective bulb,

i always like to keep my light in good repair, so I always check them before storing them for the following year. I store them by wrapping the strings around a piece of sturdy cardboard. The storage is essential so you don't have a big tangled mess next holiday season. Proper storage also keeps the strings safe from damage.

Steps to Repair Light Strings

Here are some essential steps to observe when restoring Christmas light strings.

1. Inspect the light strings to decide if there are any obvious

The following are essential steps you should carry out before you even plug in your Christmas lights, but it is critical as they could reveal a problem that needs correcting before you try turning the lights on.

You need to examine it for any issues such as deterioration to the insulation of the wires or, more alarming, uncovered wires. Take a look at the condition of the plug as well.

2. Check the fuse. If the fuse is faulty, replace it.

Using a miniature screwdriver, remove a damaged one if this is the problem, and substitute it with a new one. Make sure its rating is as shown on the plug.

3. Next, Inspect the string for apparent problems.

Check for cracked or damaged bulbs. Possibly the problem is that an entire section of the lights isn’t working. ‘Christmas light strings share a circuit, so when one isn’t firmly attached, it throws out the whole course, which means the others aren’t going to light up.

4. Use your light repair device to check for damaged shunts.

If the lights still don’t work, you can use the tool’s sensor according to the instructions to find the problem area, then substitute the bulb.
