Use of Lightkeeper pro
Thanks to OLDCR on PC for thisThe LKP Beeper function takes practice to use properly. Once you have the experience in using it, it will find a bad bulb in about 10 seconds.
The hardest thing to get used to is the optimal distance away from the set you need to hold the LKP. Take a set that is out and practice. On the side that is out see how close you need to be near the first bulbs to get the LKP to beep. The go to the last bulbs and see how close you need to be to get it to beep again (if at all), The optimal distance is somewhere in between.
Now, to quickly check a set:
1.Plug the set in and go to the LAST bulb (the one furthest from the plug) that is in the OUT section and beep test. Did it beep? If so, reverse the plug in the wall socket and test the last bulb again. Did it beep again? If so, replace the last bulb in the set and start over at #1.
2. Now go to the bulb CLOSEST to the plug in the OUT section and beep test. Continue down the out section until the LKP stops beeping. At that point, I go back and forth beep testing that bulb and the one before it. Beep, no beep. Beep, no beep. With practice you will definitely tell when you have found the bad bulb. At that point replace the bulb that DOESN'T beep. If the set doesn't light start back at #2.
Things to remember:
1. Scanning down the wire until the LKP stops beeping is fine to try to roughly find the bad spot. At that point you should be aiming the LKP at the bulb and/or the socket to determine exactly which bulb is bad.
2. Get your fingers out of there! Try not to hold the bulb/socket that you are testing. Pull it slightly away from the other wires and hold the set away from the bulb you are testing.
3. Wireframes are hard to test since any little power in the set makes the whole thing magnetized - making the LKP beep EVERYWHERE. Pull the bulb out of the plastic holder and AWAY from the wireframe then test.
4. When testing chasing sets, set the box to SOLID. It's impossible to find a bad bulb when they are blinking on and off!
Advanced Techniques:
1. I don't test EVERY bulb, instead, I do a 'binary' search. I go 1/2 the way up the bad section and test. If it beeps, I go another 1/2 UP the bad section, otherwise I go 1/2 the way back. I keep going back and forth like this until I find the bad bulb. Doing it that way means you only have to test 5 to 6 bulbs before you hit on the bad one.
2.I don't do the plug flip. If the end bulb beeps I reverse my thinking and work backward. I then replace the last bulb that beeps.
