Lightkeeper Pro Review

Let’s see what all this repair system can do! We’ll start with a quick video highlighting the features, and then dig into the details. Lightkeeper has a slew of great instruction videos on their website. These are a great resource, so be sure to check them out! The product is great and does what it promises. However, it is not suitable for rope lights, light sets with control boxes, and LEDs, so be sure the Light Keeper Pro is compatible with your string lights. There is an LED Light Keeper for LED work, which we have reviewed here.

How Does the Light Keeper Pro Work?

The Light Keeper Pro makes replacing your string light bulbs a pretty simple, straightforward project. When you find that you have a bad bulb, you won’t have to waste time trying to find defects. If it’s in the dark, you can use the built-in LED flashlight to find the issue, and begin your repair. The Audible Continuity Detector on the Light Keeper Pro does the job well by tracing the circuit and finding the cause of the interruption. Once you’ve found the source of the issue, the 3-way bulb puller will make quickly and safely extract the existing bulb. From there, you’ll be ready to insert the new bulb into the socket. With the handy bulb storage area, you’ll have plenty of bulbs on hand as needed. Using the Light Keeper Pro, you’ll have your new bulb up and twinkling in no time.

Handling

The product is very easy to handle. It’s quite light in weight and will not put any stress on your hand. You can work for extended hours without feeling tired or fatigued. If you’re one of those people who loves Christmas and Fairy lights, the Lightkeeper Pro will be perfect for you!

Accessories

The kit comes with 1.5V button cell batteries that are required for it to function. They work for a good few months so you will not have to worry about replacement batteries too soon. In addition to this, you will get 10 free bulbs to use. This is a great gift as you will not have to purchase bulbs for your first several repairs. If you need more bulbs, you can grab extras from Amazon pretty easily, including colored bulbs.

Functionality

The product does the job quite well. You will not have any issues in using it. It does not only help find problems but can also solve them by making it easier to replace bulbs. There’s also a socket connector to empty bulb socket on light set for repair. The beeping file locator, however, does not always work. If you’re getting the beep all along the light string, even though there is a fault somewhere, you may need to rotate your plug in the outlet. Some string lights are designed to make a complete circuit back to the outlet. If you unplug the socket, and rotate the plug 180’ so that it is upside down, and then plug it in again, the Light Keeper Pro should correctly identify and fix the fault.

Material and Build Quality

The Lightkeeper is quite durable. It’s made of plastic and feels good in your hands. It’s quite sturdy but lightweight. However, we wish there was a box to keep it protected. Moreover, you must keep it safe from water as it cannot handle liquid damage and may also cause serious issues if it’s exposed to water or any other liquid.

Ease of Use

The product comes assembled and is quite easy to use – especially thanks to the presence of this user manual. It does not only provide tips on how to use the tool but also highlights potential issues one may face during the process. As we mentioned above, Lightkeeper’s website is a wealth of information, so be sure to peruse their detailed video instructions! The product includes a bulb tester, voltage detector, and fuse tester. All these combined make it a powerful tool.
