SRRB Direct 20 Pack Waterproof Low Voltage Replacement Landscape Light Cable Connector for Malibu Paradise Moonrays and More

I've probably installed well over 30 of these over the years and have never had to replace any of them (note: this brand and others). A bit too small for 10-12 AWG main cables, but I just a razer-sharp knife to shave down the insulation a little so they fit. The connection is way more solid, reliable and longer-lasting than the type that use a thin sharp-ended easily-bent "blade" to pierce the main cable insulation to make the connection. Further, in those, the blade is unprotected from the elements and eventually corrodes. The SSRB types use a solid-spike and it's largely protected by the body of the connector. The only downside with these is having to "split" the zip-cord main cable to put them on - but that only takes a minute. The bright yellow is sometimes hard to hide - but then again it's a blessing for me when I drop one :-)

Super easy to install - took me about an hour for 8 lights. Use pliers or vice grip to flatten the wire a little and it goes in the slot with no problem - installed on a very cold day with stiff plastic and numb fingers and still was fine. Only negative is that these are very expensive for what is probably a manufacturing cost of <50 cents. Still, way better than the cheaper options and supply and demand control the price...

The connectors are simple to install but you have to follow the directions and heat and squeeze the wire with pliers

Great connectors! A bit pricey but nevertheless these are the best LV connectors I have used....compact, easy to install, reliable, and pretty much fool proof. Some landscape lighting cable will be too large to fit easily into the connector however I simply scraped a little insulation off so it would fit. Not a big deal and the compact size is worth a little extra effort as I needed to conserve space.

I bought these to because they appear waterproof, why advertise a outdoor landscape electrical connector that isn't waterproof. These things are ridiculously overprices to connect only 3 lights and they definitely aren't waterproof. The only way they would be waterproof is if you used shrink wrap over them, if I knew that originally, I would have bought 100 butt connectors with shrink wrap already installed for the same price. Although these work fine, they are the worst option at this price point.

I bought 12 sets of your connectors and at first I was so disappointed that my 12g mainline didn't fit into the gray slot. But, I thought, why not crimp the outside wire coating with a pliers to flatten it enough to slip into the connector channel. It worked like a charm. I have now installed my backyard lighting using your simple and brilliant connectors. The job was a breeze. I'm sending the Moonray connectors back to Amazon.Thanks for this amazing and incredibly simple connector.

As above: These look and I would expect them to be more durable over time. Note: Please consider the larger 'yellow' connectors as most landscape wiring is fairly large in diameter. The instructions are brief but adequate and mention a process whereby you 'heat' the insulation and then pinch the heated area with pliers to thin it out to fit into the connector. Still: I'd recommend getting the larger size which would work unless your wire is quite small.

I like the idea of this connector but the claim that this is usable for 16ga outdoor wiring is, to put it politely, a total fabrication. Sure, if you take a pair of pliers and virtually crush the insulation flat, the slot in the connector MIGHT fit over the feed wire. If you have 18Ga feed wire, great, these will work well for you. If you have 16ga wire with outdoor wiring thick insulation (not interior, but exterior which is what these are intended for) these are a major pain to install. I won't buy these again.
