Cheap way to save your pre-lit Christmas tree


lightkeeper.jpg

If only I knew about the Light Keeper Pro before I discarded my two pre-lit artifcial Christmas trees.

I discovered the device which claims it can "fix lights with the squeeze of a trigger" last weekend at Seasons in the Sun in Boca Raton. The video that was playing was amazing. Those of you with pre-lit trees know the whole string goes out when one bulb is burned out and it's a time consuming pain to find the offending bulb.

But the video playing at the store showed that this clever device can fix it. Here's how it works:

Remove one bulb from the section that has gone out.
Plug the bulb socket into the device and pull the trigger about 6 or 7 times until the string is lit once more.
Now you can replace any non-working bulbs.

There's a technical explantion on the packaging of how it works.But most of us don't care how it works as long as it works. And it has received some good views on the Web.

Light Keeper Pro was $29.95 at Seasons in the Sun, 7501 N Federal Hwy (in hte back of the Hidden Valley shopping center at # D1). Boca Raton, 561- 995-7327.

Happy holidays.
