- Ditch the old style lighting connectors with these and make connecting your ground lighting a breeze! These will save you a lot of time and frustration and more importantly... your back and knees!
Thanks for this video. My lights came with these connectors but had horrible instructions about how to use them.
So glad this helped you! Thanks for watching!
thank you! I just noticed one of my lights is off and I hate those clamp connectors they come with. I will be buying these
Super, glad you found them!
Using the same connectors, how do you connect if the wires from the light is extremely small gauge, like a wire from an LED bud?
The wire would have to be thick enough to be "grabbed" by the threaded post inside and be pierced by the needle connector. This connector will only take a certain range of gauges.
Can you use the thumb screw wire connectors to splice another section of landscape (16) gauge low voltage wire, about 15 feet to be exact, to add one more additional led 12w light?
You should be able to, but this will draw power away from the main line and those lamps may appear dimmer. Example: I have a string of 10 halogen ground lights and I ran a line off of that line to run 4 more for another section of shrubs and the last one furthest from the power pack was the dimmest. Now, LEDs are different, and draw far less current, so it may not be noticeable or dim at all. Try it....and let me know...

This is a follow up to my previous post earlier today.
I use the thumb screws as I stated in my previous post and added about 18 feet more of Landscaping wire and one LED light. I have a 300 W Sunvie transformer, and to my surprise it came out fantastic. I now have a total of 12 LED lights. No issues at all.
I wish I could upload some pictures of the outcome but I don’t know if I can do this on this app.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Bravo! I'm sure it looks great! Thank you for all the great questions!
Hey. I've got 7watt lights running on 230v. Would this be right option for this electricity?
Thank you so much question for you does it matter which main line wire the red and black go into ?
No, usually, low voltage lighting does not have a polarity. I've tried it both ways. Thanks for checking out the channel, Happy Holidays!
If you check the black insulation on the supply wire (or lamp wire) the smooth wire is positive and the side with "ridge" is negative!
