Fixing Christmas Lights Made Painless

The best christmas light troubleshooting tool 15 bucks can buy

The best Christmas light troubleshooting tool a measly 15 bucks can buy!

If you’ve ever spent hours of time trying to fix a string of Christmas lights, you know first hand what a complete waste of time that can be.
My usual reaction to a dead string of lights is to toss them in the trash, even after one season of use. The problem with this is that the new LED lights just don’t have that warm incandescent glow and they are extremely expensive! The old style 2.5w bulbs are cheap and with a little patience and the proper knowledge and tools, they can be repaired cheaply and easily.
The Light Keeper Pro is one tool that looks pretty cheap, but does a great job of fixing burnt out strings of Christmas lights. I spent a few hours today working on a garland string, then went down to the store to pick up this tool that I had seen the day before, but passed over.
Within 5 minute out of the package, the Light Keeper Pro had located three bad bulbs in a 50 bulb string, it was amazing! So, don’t toss those old lights in the landfill yet, they may have more life left in them for next season & beyond. Works great for repairing novelty light sets for your bar too!

I bought one of these, different packaging, but the same idea. Most awesome tool ever. I made the mistake of putting up a lighted garland on our lamppost without checking it. After I had it up (a long garland with three different strings of lights in it), the whole thing was dark. I plugged in a socket from each string and pulled the trigger thingie a few times, and the string lit up (like a Christmas Tree!).

Buy. One. Now.
