Landscape Light Connectors Low Voltage Wire Connectors 12-18 Gauge UL Listed Low Voltage Cable Connector Waterproof for Landscape Lighting/Pathway Light/Spotlight, Pack of 12--Covering 12 Lights

The media could not be loaded. Watch video review posted.Works great with my 12 gauge wire, I would recommend, fairly straightforward, just snap it closed onto the main wire, and push down on the individual wires.I hope you found this review helpful

I seldom write reviews on products. However, this product saved me from a nightmare so wanted to take the time to pass along some info. I purchased a set of outdoor LED landscaping lights (not from Amazon) that were affordable for me. Though I am very pleased with the lights the electric clips were either broken OR broke when I tried to close them. I needed to replace all the original clips . Found these clips and because of installation instructions were listed with the product info I purchased them. The are very sturdy and installation is easy. The instructions suggested bending the end of the light fixture wire over before inserting when this wires is very thin. This tip was worth its weight in gold...doing this helped me make the connecting much more secure. I'm not very strong so used pliers to close the clips around the light fixture wires. Clamping this clips over the power cord is easy and pretty much a no miss. I do recommend this product

Works great! Had tried another cheaper screw on version of these clips which didn’t work at all. These clips are much sturdier and were very easy to install. I have thicker wires so I followed their advice and used a hairdryer to soften the wires which worked very well. Definitely recommend.

Super easy to install as they only require three snaps. I purchased these for low voltage landscape lighting and selected the 16 gauge size to fit with my low voltage wire. Out of my 16 lights there are 3 or 4 that occasionally go out as the 2 terminals for the light wires themselves are oversized for my lights. Maybe I should have ordered a size down but then I’m unsure how these would fit the low voltage wire. With the move to LEDs I’d suggest to reduce the size of the 2 female terminals and/or improve the width of the contact points to accommodate thinner gauge wires.

I did a lot of research on LV lighting connectors, and am happy with these. The clamp onto the LV wire (12-16g) is very easy -- the connection to the light fixture is always a hassle. This has nifty clamp-shut connectors (with a spike) for each of the two lighting wires. They're hard to see in the pictures. It expects them to be round. My choice was either the square 18g wire that came from my fixture, which I could try to strip down, and shove in there. Or, I ended up using a pigtail and wire nuts. Not a great solution - I was looking for an all-in-one solution. But it really depends on what you have coming from your light fixture. I had thin wires (like bell wire) and so I had to use a 6" pigtail/adapter and wire nuts. If I had a light fixture that had 18g "low voltage" wire, it would have fit right in, and I would be done in 2 seconds. So, overall, I am satisfied -- this is much better than some of the other solutions. At about $3 per connection, and with the convenience - I couldn't find anything cheaper.

easy to use

You can only crimp these down one time and then they cannot be reused. Avoid this type of connecter, it doesn’t make contact half the time and can be very glitchy.

I bought these for a large project (45 lights) and they have been a massive time saver. In other reviews I've seen some complaints and some workarounds to these complaints. I don't think either is warranted. Here is my experience:1. Do all your prep work at the bench. Don't try to assemble and clip everything together in the field. Before installing outside, you should have the connectors attached, bulbs inserted, and the lights tested.2. I agree that on smaller gauge lamp wires (like in the pictures I've attached) the connector can be finicky IF you do not prep and place the wires correctly as described below.3. There is little chance that a connector is "bad." Its simply a metal pin that pieces both the lamp wire and the feed wire to connect them together. As long as the wire is pierced and the clips are tight, there is not much else that could go wrong.3. The lamp wires should not have exposed ends and they should be cut to the same length.4. The lamp wires should be straight going into the connector. If not, this is a chance for the tap pin to miss on the smaller gauge wire.5. When clipping onto the feed, simply make sure the left and right sides of the wire are aligning with the pins in the respective location. I'm making this sound harder than it is. It was easy enough that after about 10 lights, I was doing this with one hand.6. I like to keep the main feed energized when I am installing the lights. When I put the clip on I can instantly see if the connection is good. If you do this, make sure that your feed cable is not exposed at the end to prevent shorting. Just give it a clean cut at the end.
