Christmas Lights Not Lighting Up Fix with Lightkeeper Pro

Introduzione

If a section of your string lights are not lighting up, this is likely caused by only one or two bulbs that have been damaged. The LightKeeper Pro repair tool makes it easy to determine the culprit and replace the broken bulb.

Although there is a low risk of shock, we recommend that you unplug the lights whenever handling the bulb sockets directly during this guide. Shock will happen if you manage to put your fingers inside the socket, connecting the two metal plates inside, which is fairly difficult to do even on purpose. Additionally, be sure to act carefully and thoughtfully if a bulb is clearly shattered. The broken glass can be sharp and will cut you if you don't act with caution.
