This Chicago-based company has saved enough light sets to fill six Statues of Liberty

Don’t you hate when one of the bulbs go out on your pre-lit tree and light strands?  I’ve had to throw out sets that were only a year or two old.  Now there is the perfect solution from Ulta-Lit Tree Company.

Glenview, IL  – Ulta-Lit Tree Company, the maker of Cool Yule ToolsⓇ, has saved over one billion Christmas light bulbs from landfills over the past 20 years with their light set repair tools. With the help of Ulta-Lit, millions of light sets that would have otherwise gone in the trash are still being used for Christmas trees, holiday decorations, and more.

Ulta-Lit Tree Company sells the LightKeeper ProⓇand LED KeeperⓇ, which repair broken incandescent and LED light sets used for holiday decorations. With the sale of more than 6 million light set repair tool units since the inception of these tools, these tools have become  essential  for homeowners across the country as they decorate for festive occasions.

The #1 selling light set for over 25 years has been the 100-bulb light set. With a conservative estimate of two light sets saved per repair tool sold, Ulta-Lit’s repair tools have saved about 12 million light sets, containing altogether around 1.2 billion light bulbs.
