LED Keeper
Keeping your holidays bright for over 20 years
-
Why buy this for just a string of lights?
The LED Keeper is great for pre-lit trees, icicle lights, net lights, wreaths, wire frames with lights, and other pre-lit décor!
Can the LED Keeper fix incandescent sets?
Due to the different physics behind incandescent and LED light sets, the LED Keeper cannot assist with incandescent light sets. But thankfully, the company behind the LED Keeper also offers the LightKeeper Pro -- the complete tool for the repair of incandescent light sets.
Will this work on a 240 Volt set?
No, the LED Keeper is designed to work on a 120 Volt light set only.
-
How to tell if you are working with incandescent lights or LEDs?
a) Incandescent bulbs have filaments and tend to get warm when lit a while LEDs do not
b) Remove a bulb and look to see if the wires are offset or not [Offset = LED; Equal height = Incandescent]
c) LEDs have a plastic encasement while incandescent has glass
Can the LED Keeper be used on sets with replaceable and non-replaceable bulbs?
Yes, the LED Keeper can assist on LED light sets wired in series whether the bulbs are replaceable or not. The Universal Replacement PODs included will definitely assist with non-replaceable bulbs.
-
Can this tool fix a strand where every other light is out?
The LED Keeper can assist with LED light sets that are wired in series, meaning you can remove one bulb from a functional section and the section will become unlit. Typically, if every other bulb is out then we are dealing with a control box or a light set that is not wired in series. The LED Keeper cannot assist with light sets that have control boxes, rope lights, battery operated sets, or LEDs.
-
Can you use this tool on light set with 3 wires going in and out of each bulb?
Yes, you'll simply tap into each of them to determine which results in the functional section illuminating. Instructions to apply a Universal Replacement POD to a 3 wire socket are located on our website.
Product Description
The only tool in the marketplace able to diagnose & repair LED lights!
The LED Keeper fixes LED holiday light sets. It is every decorator's must-have and saves you not only time, but money. No need to toss your pre-lit décor when you have lights out. Use the LED Keeper to keep your holidays bright!
How it Works
The LED Keeper uses insulation piercing to connect to the copper within the light set wires and illuminate functioning sections by creating mini-circuits. Success is achieved through the process of elimination.
Complete Tool for the Repair of LED Light Sets
The LED Keeper pays for itself and is provides everything you'd need to fix a light set:
- Built-in Bulb & Fuse Tester
- Includes 2 Universal Replacement PODs
- 2 Place Markers to assist in testing are also included
- Comes complete with a 9V battery
- Has a Bulb Puller
Fixes sets with replaceable or non-replaceable bulbs
Use a POD if your set is experiencing a socket issue that cannot be solved, if the precise replacement bulb for the set cannot be located, or if the set has non-replaceable (sealed construction) LEDs. The PODs were designed to repair LEDs only. If you were to use a POD on an incandescent set, the set would not illuminate and remain dysfunctional. The PODs were not designed to illuminate but are necessary for the repair of the LED set in order to maintain the electrical balance. If a POD is not used and a dead bulb/socket remains, then more voltage is being forced upon the remaining functional bulbs.
Every decorator's must-have!
This Cool Yule Tool saves you time and money. No more throwing your light sets and pre-lit décor away. Now you can save them with the squeeze of a trigger. There are also numerous resources available to assist you as you become a light set repair Pro yourself! We have instructional videos and even have a toll-free number available with U.S.-based techs to assist in all of your light set repair questions.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The lessons I learned are:
-Unmounted lights are easier to repair. The tester comes attached to a 3 foot cord limiting the length the tester can be used. This is only a minor issue and limited to installed lights. It easily found the one broken LED on the 32 foot unmounted string.
-Be sure the wire is correctly positioned in the tester before pulling the trigger. It is very easy to incorrectly position/select the wire causing you to repeat the procedure. Although this was identified by another reviewer I still managed to do it.
-After correctly positioning the tester on the wire and pulling the trigger you have to allow enough time for the LED's to light on longer strings.
-Strings with multiple failures take some extra thought, time and require a little more effort. Initially you will get inconsistent results but if you decrease the number of LED's tested and just work from one end of the string it works. .
Bottom line this tester is easy to use, does its job and I would buy it again. I do share the same concerns with reviewer MBR as to fixing or replacing multiple failure strings. My multiple string LED failures were only one year old am questioning the quality of these strings. The common issues for the failures were almost 90 % involving the copper wires where it was bent to be inserted into the LED holder.
Note: The write up said it came with 3 1.5-volt batteries are included, In reality it has a 9 volt battery

I learned a few things about how it works that might help others use it more effectively.
Many of the complaints I read indicate that nothing happened when they squeezed the trigger; others said it was necessary to hold the trigger for a moment. They're correct, and here's why. When it's working, you can hear a high-pitched whine like many voltage-boosting circuits (think about the whine when you turn on a big camera flash unit), and it ramps up over a few seconds until the lights come on (if they do). As far as I can tell, it starts at a low voltage to avoid burning out working LED bulbs. If not enough current is flowing it starts ramping up the voltage. When the circuitry detects that the current flow indicates the LEDs are illuminating, it stops increasing the voltage. This makes perfect sense as a design. If you're on LED #2, it'll light almost instantly. But if you're testing halfway down a 200-bulb string, it's going to take a few seconds before it reaches the proper voltage. Overall it is a brilliant design, but it can confuse the user if you're impatient. So be a little patient while you work.
Also, it's easy to THINK you have the wire positioned properly in the test slot. Sometimes it took several tries to get right. Be careful to seat the wire correctly before you squeeze, then as I noted above be prepared to wait several seconds if you're not close to the yellow plug end of the string.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for a few design compromises and challenges.
It wasn't quite so happy with a 200-bulb string that had a transformer block halfway down. It was very hard to understand what it was doing, and the results were strangely inconsistent. On those multi-segment strings, it might light the left half or the right half, or sometimes parts of both. So the process of finding a failed bulb became much harder than a simple binary search (look it up). It does work, but not as simply as with a shorter string.
Also, this tool doesn't instantly fix LED strings with more than one failed bulb. You still have to work until you find all the failures. So this tool will be great to immediately fix a failed string when you're pretty sure only one bulb failed. But if it's an older string with several failed bulbs, prepare to spend some time.
I really like the bulb testing slot. I would be happier if it supplied alternating current; as it is, you must try both orientations as only one will illuminate the bulb. But it was still fairly easy to use.
I would be a bit happier with a longer cord; I had to use an extension cord at one point when the string was already mounted on a wireframe. Not a big deal, and it was fine for sitting on the living room floor testing an unmounted string.
All in all, this is a valuable tool I can heartily recommend despite its minor faults. I think tonight's single string repair paid for half the tool's cost, and it will have completely paid for itself the next time I use it.
As the line gets longer, the bulbs do get very dim when connected to 9V built in battery. But it still does the job. You might need another 9V batter if you have a lot of lights to fix.
When testing, it has to pierce through the insulation to make connection. So technically, you are damaging the insulation but since it's a sharp point, I don't think it would be an issue for outdoor use.
