No it does not, but we do plan on introducing a LED Keeper that will specifically be meant to fix LED lights next year fourth quarter.

Thank You for replying. Now I can be more confident on buying this next time. Although, I have one last question. Does this work for all LED christmas lights? Except those big bulb ones and probably the round dome type.

There might be a couple of differences between the products. The only real difference with the product itself would be if it were created before 2004, then it would not include the direct socket connector which is a great improvement we made to our LightKeeper. After adding the socket connector, it became the LightKeeper Pro. The year the LightKeeper Pro was manufactured and sold may vary. However, this does not really make a difference because we offer a life-time guarantee on our product excluding batteries. Whether it is brand new or a few years old, we stand behind our product. The packaging has changed throughout the years. Some of the offers, you will notice, might include spare bulbs. There might be a couple of differences between the products.

My advice is to get this very good lamp, but don't buy the touch operating version. Opt for the button operating one. Read the Amazon description. At the end it will tell you the right model number.

I think I understand what you are talking about; item 915083 is $30 and item 915003 is $25, both w/ free shipping & fulfilled by amazon. Strange. If you search each model in google, each lamp does show up so they appear to be valid models. To make it more confusing, I found two more model numbers for the same lamp. Perhaps the model # reflects a different manufacturing plant or year? For what it's worth, they are all the same. I ordered 915003 from amazon for $25 and I love it.

Lumilight website says it takes a LK13 bulb, which seems to be made only by Lumilite. It is available here on Amazon. I took the one out of my lantern and checked the specs on the bulb itself. Took some serious squinting and a magnifier, but I found it is 4.8V, .75A, 3.6W. These seem to be the same specs as a KPR113 bulb, also with Krypton. In a quick search, the only brick and mortar place I found selling them was sears, but any specialty light bulb store whould probably have them too. GE sells them for cars, so I would also check auto parts stores. They are sold on Amazon too, of course. Lumilight website says it takes a LK13 bulb, which seems to be made only by Lumilite.

right out of box one of the two lights I purchased did not light. I had to return. it was the model available prior to the model in picture. don't know if it was damaged in shipping? if you need to get another to match other ones purchased act quickly, they have limited production runs and the style will probably change. the model in picture has day light sensor, so even in low light it may not light even if you put your finger over round sensor on top of lamp. hope this helps you

Sorry, I didn't know there was a difference. It's whatever the seller listed. BTW, I really like the light. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I would contact customer service. The one I bought was fine so I really have not had this particular issue. However many have told mr their customer service is outstading at Amazon. The chandelier is beautiful once you get yours up you will be happy, so don't give up on this one. Perhaps you can get a replacement even. Hope you get this resolved soon and enjoy your light.

I did not keep this light, sent it back because was not as bright as I wanted also work right, was a pile of junk, also got a Stanley rechargeable light also a pile of junk, I did keep this one at first worked very well but as time goes on the charge does not last very long, at first lasted about 1/2 hour on a full now after about 6 mos. it may last 10 mins. on a full charge. don't know what brand is the best on to get but if you can put out a little more money for one but not these two.good luck!!!from someone that learned the hard way!!!

From the sellers FAQ's: The LightKeeper Pro's Quick Fix Trigger will only work in series Miniature Light sets with shunted bulbs. The LightKeeper would not be appropriate for the larger lamped C7, C9 sets, tube/rope lights or LED Lights.

I'm not sure what type PL is, but I could not use the bulb I ordered. Mine has the center piece, plus four prongs around it and the one they sent had only two prongs. I returned it and the return process was very satisfactory. Since I have been to any number of lighting stores and have finally been told that OttLite changes their design up ever so often and doesn't make what we need if our light is very old. Don't know how right this info was, but I still haven't found a light. It was suggested that I take my lamp to a lighting shop and have the receptacle part replaced with a regular type of plug.

I don't know if you guys realize the package of which the new one's light pattern is covered by a piece of paper compared to the old one's light pattern showing clearly. Do you guys think it means something? although it is absolutely genuine and it is not that bad, I feel not so good for this unannounced change. Actually, the old light pattern 500G does exist, but its box is using entirely plastic packing just like the special edition version. Both of them are sold in my local bestbuy store, so I can compare them head to head. In addition, the new one's bottom and sides are plastic, but for the old version only the sides are plastic. It looks like I did too much researches, but just for fun.

Hello John. I was just reading your question and the reponses. I didn't buy this light but I did buy a bigger one. You can find that version here: Mighty Bright Orchestra Light, with Adapter and Bag . I still read hard cover books and need the illumination these lights provide. The version I listed above uses three AA batteries which have more staying power than the AAAs. I have a lapdesk I use to sit the books on and this light clips on the back cover nicely. I bend the goose neck to the center of the book for equal light coverage and this 9 LED light version does a great job for me. I bought rechargeable AAs due to the heavy use I give my lights.

The Procyon is a good unit, but I do not have a Proteus to compare it with. One notable difference is the Procyon has red, green, and blue LEDs; I believe the Proteus is only two colours. I know it's more expensive than the Procyon, but I would recommend stepping up to the Kasina (also from Mindplace). It is worlds above the older units, and has independent RGB lights for each eye and an SD card that you can add music and other files to.

Cheaper to just buy a new light. I have learned to just seal them thoroughly, To keep the bugs from shorting it out. Hope this helps....

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

I can only tell you that the one that I have has been an excellent light. I have gotten others that have given me problems with the switch but that has not been the case with this. I CAN NOT assure you or anyone else that you will get an original or a knock off but I can report on how MY experience was. Mine certainly has performed very well.

Looks exactly the same. Probably different sellers putting it as different names to their models. If you go on to the web site and click on one, then open anothe page and look at the second. They are exactly the same, same size, same model, same colour.Get the cheaper one and save yourself money. If there is a new and used one, get the new one.
