Interesting item for those adding lighting...

Does anyone here have any experience with these? If so, it would be great to post your opinions and results.

When I finish my shop bench and begin adding my auxiliary lighting, I am going to use these.

You can get them from WebBikeWorld, Amazon, and several other places.

I haven't seen these before, but will likely get some now. Assuming that they are as good as advertised, they certainly beat the effort of soldering.

Yes, they work well, been using them for years on marine projects.

Never seen these before, good find. Be really useful for test fits

Do you ever have problems with salty air and moisture getting to the exposed wire after the jacket is pierced and causing corrosion failures? I guess a liberal amount of dilectric grease on the connections would help.

No prob after 5 years, yes DE grease or electric lacquer

I use DE grease on every elec junction, on land and water.

My fav is a Butt connect...CRIMP/SHRINK 22-18GA 25PK

I have been using these for quite some time now. They are ideal for those who want to connect multiple wires into one, such as when I connected my two auxiliary lights together into a single wire for the power for them. I also have a set for some lights I connected to the tailbox. I needed a way to disconnect the wires when taking the box off, yet be able to keep the exposed wires protected. There are all sorts of uses for these, but you have to get different types of these for different purposes. Don't just expect to buy a few of the same size to do everything you want to do with them. They are not cheap but they can be used over and over, from one project to another. As an example, I use them when I need to test the wiring I install before permanently hooking everything up under the plastic panels. Who wants to pull the panels back off because the lights you spent half of the day connecting now do not work? You can test as you go by connecting the new item leads to a hot lead temporarily.

Excellent. They sound just like what I need. I can solder, but don't have an extreme amount of confidence in my skills. This seems like just the ticket.

I wonder if these could be added to some sort of master parts list for modders?

Those are the connectors that came with my Vololights. They seemed very flimsy and not very durable, so I snipped them off and went with a more traditional bullet connector. Certainly they look to be easy to use, but easy isn't always best. That said I didn't actually use the connectors so can't give you any thing from experience.

That said, for the longest time, I had LEDs hooked up on my old scoot for about seven years with nothing but wire nuts and electrical tape and that worked. At the time, I hadn't the foggiest idea what I was doing, so I just fudged it. If it's out of sight and it works, who cares how you did it.
