So I attached the socket of one of the lights that were out. I clicked the trigger as indicated. Now all of the clear bulbs that were out are blackened instead of clear!!?!!! Not helpful at all!

This works, BUT Putting the tree to bed today, I went through the five sections of the tree to fix secti9ons that were bad. These lights are wired to the tree: 1. It wont find a loose bulb. That was my problem on two sections that I found by accident. intermittent

Our lights do not go out. They ‘blink’ and just turn white. It is a handful of them. When we turn the power off those lights stay lit and colorful. It’s here and there. Sometimes it can go for a week without an issue. Anybody with any ideas?

The problem is that 10 years later, after this video was made, they've changed the net lights. Now, there are hooks at the top of the bulb to string them together. There is no way to insert the bulb housing into the trigger pull. It doesn't fit.

A nce adjustment of my problem. I developed much of the plans but 1) 20 pulses.. I was told 3, I used 5 or 6!! 2) I have a wired angel about 5' x 7' who has the metal conduction of the signal. The mini bulbs are next to each other. Over 30 years, I have had to pull the bulbs and test them as I thought the signal was carried by the steel frame. It has been a challenge as all worked until I hauled the angel to the location. The left lobe of the "skirt" is dead. Concerning the conduction of the signal on the steel wire, it has been a bear. I appreciate your lessons. I found the "Lightkeeper" back then, then about 10 years later I came across the Pro.

I wish I'd watched this a few years ago when our expensive prelit garland failed, or my very expensive tree with light failure back around the time this video was first posted! Dealing with light issues on my current tree - just ordered the right bulbs and a LightKeeper Pro - and now watching this video so I can (hopefully) save my current prelit tree's lights for this Christmas season! Thanks for this detailed video, and wish me luck!

Before you send your money on this Check to see if you can find replacement LED lights. I found burnt bulbs . But can't find replacements. You can not just use any LED. Each string is bulb specific.

I bought mine at a garage sale for a couple bucks. Nothing works as advertised anymore and I expected the same here, but I had enough hope to waste $2 on it. I've been working on this outdoor reindeer with a tangled mess of circuits and half the reindeer wouldn't light no matter what I did. Well Son of a Bitch, as sleepy Joe exclaimed after his criminal extortion of Ukraine... It worked. It took me all of 2 minutes to get the reindeer lit, and that's only because I was using it for the first time. Unbelievable. It actually worked. I think I'll put this under lock and key.

It took a couple of tries to insert the wire properly into the slot, but I got it working and it found the bad bulb. The light remover was also a little tricky. The key is to make sure the light remover metal slot is in between the gap on the light bulb. This video glosses over removing the light bulb.

Holy cow. I’ve spent hours troubleshooting my prelit tree with three strands out. First pull got one strand on then several pulls and checking voltage got the others on. I then replaced about 30 bulbs. Saved me a $150 tree.
@JP-uu2rw Жыл бұрын
4:39 In a series circuit 120V travels through the circuit but each bulb on a 50 light strand use 2.5 V . Its the sum of the bulbs voltages totaling 120V. Where in a parallel string each bulb gets 120V because each socket is an independent circuit . In a series set with 100 bulbs its actually a parallel of 2 series circuits of 50 bulbs and so a 100 bulb string still uses 2.5 volts per bulb. Its crucial to promptly replace burned out bulbs even if the string remains lit. In the example of the 50 bulb string if one bulb burns out you now have more voltage going to each bulb and so 1 burning out is not a problem but as more burn out the rest are getting higher and higher voltage and will begin to blow other bulbs rapidly until the set fails because the fuses will blow if the other bulbs take on the additional current left by the failed bulbs

I had forgot to mention that my wife had thrown the three that didn't work into the garbage and I hate that being the type of person I am I like to try and fix things and that got me wondering if there was a tool, and that brought me to KZbin and eventually your video. I saved it so I can watch and share it.

I am sure glad I found this video. It was absolutely perfectly explained. I had watched to videos before this one and they were OK , they explained and showed how to use the tool, and that is exactly why I am here I was curious enough to want to know if there was a tool like this so I went on KZbin. We had 4 strands of lights, one worked the other three didn't and it got me wondering if there were fuses involved because the three strands that none of the bulbs lit up but I couldn't tell where a fuse would be until I watched your video and sure enough I check all the plugs and all three had two blown 3 amp fuses in them and that was we because we had had a power surge and outage the very night that all 4 strands had been lit up. So thank u for that informative video and if anybody else is reading this if none of the bulbs are lit on your strand check to see if there are fuses below the little slide out door it is pretty easy to do, thanks again, also I do have a voltage tester that detects power and it lights up and beeps but I am definitely going to get me your tool as soon as I can.

Bogus. I'm judging by the age of the video that there have been improvements. But not on the one I bought. It never beeped to test a circuit. And turn the plug 180 degrees? Todays plugs and outlets only allow you to insert it one way. And how do you fix a strin with 4 on then 2 off then 5 on and 1 off. YOU DONT. Stay Away

I found the information on the shunt to be enlightening. I knew about the shunts and understood fundamentally how they work. I always assumed they were some sort of fancy wire. Nope. Just aluminum and utilizing the aluminum oxide layer as the insulation, clever. We had two fancy wall decorations that didn't work. I was going to throw them out. Used the instructions from the video, canniblized one of the two decorations, and got one to work and one for spare bulbs. One's better than none,, so we're good for a few more years. The LightKeeperPro is a good tool, it does have a learning curve this video helps with. However, I don't think it could have helped the light string the squirrels got to the other year.
