 Pays for itself and helps the environment November 2, 2008
Christian Bell (Grand Rapids, MI)
In a nutshell: This device WILL pay for itself and WILL keep you from throwing light strands away.
The shunt repair mechanism, which is the heart of this device, is miraculous. A few pulls of the trigger has restored 80% of my partially burned-out light strands. On top of saving money from replacing burned-out strands, this also keeps you from having to throw partially-working light strands into the garbage and creating waste.
I highly recommend this product. It works as advertised and pays for itself quickly. Money well spent!

This item fixed many christmas tree lights and other holiday lights this year. Make sure the light socket needing repair is ALL THE WAY IN and lined up properly on the trigger end of this device, otherwise when you "click", it will not activate the lights. This was most likely the problem with others saying this does not work. BUY THIS!!!

I bought this product on-line after some searching. When you factor in the shipping costs it was pretty expensive, and it normally would be cheaper to just replace a whole strand or 5 strands of lights. (Lights are pretty cheap if you do any shopping around.) But we had a large outdoor tree decoration that wasn't so easily replaced, and 100 lights which were not lit. I really was not interested in checking each and every bulb, so I took the plunge. When I received it I tried to restore the shunts by unplugging a lamp in the unlit sections and repeatedly pulling the trigger. This did nothing. So the next step was checking the continuity and I was worried about this because some of the wires are close together and I was skeptical that it would give an accurate indication. Much to my surprise and my relief it worked and pinpointed the problematic bulbs. I was able to fix my tree in about 5 minutes. A nice time saver. Because of it's price I wouldn't reccomend this for everbody , but if you have an expensive decoration with built in light strands it is great. I don't know how long it will last, the plastic seems pretty cheap and flimsy.
Replacing Christmas Lights the EASY Way... December 10, 2007

This is not a joke or a paid promotion. I am literally writing to say, "I tried this, and it works like gangbusters for me - maybe you, too?" Here is my story.
My wife and I have a pre-lit Christmas tree, and we spend HOURS trying to find burned out tree lights one by one by swapping out bulbs in ONE section at a time. Our tree is the type where if more than two bulbs burn out, it goes out. Not like I notice two bulbs burned out, so I'm always glaring at unlit sections when that third bulb blows. It's a nice looking tree, and we've grown to like it, so we put up with the work.
I remember dad swearing at the lights while changing bulbs as a kid. I'd say, "Daaaad! No swearing - it's Christmas." He'd say, "Christmas, my butt!! I hate these darned lights!!" [Spoiler Alert] I found out there was no Santa, and that Christmas wasn't my dad's butt. It was a push. [End Alert]
We saw this device on the internet, and bought it at a local department store. We laughed and said this is too easy, so it couldn't *possibly* work. Nope, not gonna happen. I'd be just as well to throw dollar bills in the paper shredder, and unfortunately, the shredder doesn't support coins. BUT the department store can have it back one day later if it's a dud (with receipt), so it was worth a try. I was willing to try ANYTHING after going bulb to bulb and NOT getting one section to light (how does the tree know where to keep moving the burned out bulb so I can't find it? it's total crap that it knows how to do that). I replaced the fuse twice KNOWING that a burned out light string can't blow a fuse a second time because it actually has to light up FIRST before it can burn something out. Stupid lights - they don't understand electricity!!
I put the battery in, removed one light bulb, plugged the gun device into the light bulb socket, and pressed the trigger twice. BAM, it lit up. I was stunned. I heard sleigh bells (Santa, are you real?). This couldn't be true! I quickly found the burned out bulbs because there was no way I was going to let complete shock and dismay destroy this golden opportunity (bitterness fortunately prevailed). Hmmm, there's another section over there with burned out bulbs. Plugged it in, zapped it twice, and it LIT. No way, can't be true. Two trys doesn't mean anything. Even a bad quarterback can score two touchdowns in a game. I replaced the three bulbs faster than a jack rabbit on a date (ask the rabbit).
Two days later, another section went out. Darn this tree! Well, I removed the light bulb, plugged it in, zapped it twice and nothing. A-HA! I knew it, too good to be true. Wait ... the instructions DID say it COULD need a few more zaps SOMETIMES. So, I zapped it repeatedly while shaking my head and screaming "LIGHT YOU STUPID EVIL SPAWNED TREE." 12th time, BAM, it lit. I scrambled for more replacement bulbs and lit that section up.
This year, time for a new tree, right? Well, we went to our favorite tree store, and noticed that the pre-lit trees looked kind of, well, crappy. The sales clerk said, the word you are looking for is "cheap," right? The clerk went on to say that due to shipping costs, they purchased trees with fewer branches and fewer lights to keep prices and cost down. All the trees this year were "cheap" and "cheap looking." Well, there it is, and other places looked about the same. Back to the old tree. In some strange (and predominantly masochistic) way, we liked the old tree.
I used the Light Keeper Pro and zapped away. I replaced 19 bulbs on the bottom ring alone (it does have the most lights, after all). It took me 15 minutes to zap and replace. I am slowed down only by the fact that we ran out of replacement bulbs. The whole ring is lit, about seven strands of lights. I threw my arms up in the air - "A NEW OLYMPIC RECORD FROM THE UNWAIVERING UNDERDOG! UNBELIEVEABLE!!! THE RUSSIAN TEAM IS FURIOUS!!!" It helps to be a little insane during the holidays, I've found.
I feel good. A man and his light-zapping gun. Just like Big Clint Eastwood. Because you see, Tuco, "there's two kinds of people in the world. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig." I may be good, bad, and/or ugly, but I ain't digging.
A couple a clicks and the lights are fixed!!! December 8, 2007

It does just what it says it does. Go to the website and watch the video. I got it for $12.50 at Lowes.
