The LightKeeper Pro® is a specialized repair tool designed to fix issues in incandescent Christmas light sets. With its UL-listed safety certification, the tool aims to save time and money by diagnosing and repairing common light string problems. I tested the LightKeeper Pro® on a few faulty light sets from previous holiday seasons, focusing on ease of use, effectiveness, and versatility.
Pros:
✅ Effective Repairs: Quickly fixed several non-working light sets, restoring them to full functionality.
✅ Easy to Use: Simple instructions and intuitive operation make it accessible for all skill levels.
✅ Diagnostic Features: Built-in voltage detector helps identify faulty bulbs or issues in the wiring.
✅ Cost-Effective: Saves money by extending the life of light sets instead of replacing them.
✅ Compact Design: Lightweight and easy to store alongside holiday decorations.
Cons:
❌ Incandescent Only: Not compatible with LED light sets, limiting its use for modern decorations.
❌ Learning Curve: Initial setup and understanding the functions may require reading the instructions carefully for first-time users.
Performance and Usability:
The LightKeeper Pro® excelled at identifying and repairing issues with incandescent light sets. Its "Quick Fix Trigger" worked seamlessly to restore non-functioning sections of the light string, and the bulb puller and tester tools were practical additions. The built-in diagnostics allowed for fast identification of burned-out or loose bulbs. After a brief learning period, the tool was straightforward and efficient to use.
Comparison:
Compared to replacing an entire light set or attempting manual repairs, the LightKeeper Pro® is a game-changer. While LED repair tools are available for modern light sets, this tool remains a top choice for those still using incandescent lights.
Who Is This For?:
This tool is ideal for anyone with a significant number of incandescent holiday lights, especially those who prefer to repair rather than replace decorations. It’s a must-have for homeowners, decorators, or anyone who wants to simplify holiday preparations.
Conclusion:
The LightKeeper Pro® is an indispensable tool for maintaining incandescent Christmas lights. Its user-friendly design, diagnostic capabilities, and effectiveness make it a reliable and cost-saving investment for holiday decorating enthusiasts. While it’s not compatible with LED lights, it delivers excellent results for its intended purpose.

100% Functionality on ~30 Year Old Prelit Christmas Tree
Most of the lights were out on my ~30 year old prelit 10' Christmas tree. There had been MANY efforts over the years to restore the dead lights to working but there wasn't ANY progress. THIS YEAR I decided to get the tree completely working again. IMO, the LightKeeper Pro beeper function would be terrific on a string of lights, stretched out, but it didn't have any utility for me on the prelit tree, so I sequentially removed, inspected, tested and replaced bulbs, one by one. Virtually all of the problems were caused by a broken bulb wire. The LightKeeper Pro has a metal plate in the nose that worked very well to dislodge bulbs for removal. Frequently I would be able to get those detached bulbs to be secure in that nose pocket when removing from the tree. The method I used was to put a colored twist tie on each dead branch at the trunk once I started testing the bulbs on that branch. My tree had light strings that spanned 2½ to 5 branches, depending upon the height / size. The colored twist ties REALLY helped decrease the confusion in the process. Once a bulb was removed from the tree socket I would pinch the bulb with one hand and the base with the other hand. Then I would LIGHTLY rotate those parts SLIGHTLY back and forth. Then I would use my magnifying glass to visually inspect the leads on the base sides. If one lead was missing, then I would replace the bulb. If either lead was too short to lay on the flat surface, then I would replace the bulb. THEN I would test the bulb in the powered LightKeeper Pro socket for normal brightness. Infrequently a bulb was VERY dim and it would be replaced. Sometimes a bulb was black from the internal fuse blowing and it would be replaced. Sometimes a bulb was dead and it would be replaced. If the bulb inspected and tested good, Then it was reseated tightly into it's socket. The tree consumed about 300 bulbs to attain complete functionality. This LightKeeper Pro tool is recommended.
