I hate these websites that won't link properly!! If you click 'lights' on the left it's item 754302 Christmas Lights Repair Tool & Bulb Tester. Should be the first thing there.
Our cupboards are full of QVC stuff Tom. I wish the UK site was more like Americas. They have proper model railways over there! _________________ Get off the line Bobby!

How it fixes the lights has me stumped. Any explanation from the electrical experts out there?
I'm really not sure how it works but it sounds like it sends a very short, high voltage surge down the wire (using the same principle as electronic ignition on today's car engines) and shorts the 'bridge' on the failed bulb.
It wouldn't work for my Xmas lights because they have always stayed alight, except for the failed bulb, on every set we've had since 1980!
Are there still sets out there that all go out if a bulb fails?
