Review on Sopoby Electrical Disconnect Assortment with Connectors by Jason Epstein

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive way to connect landscape lighting.

Bought to install landscape lighting around the house. First I spent a fortune buying ridiculously expensive Sunvie and Modtec connectors. When I needed to install more landscape lights I went with these very cheap connectors despite the bad reviews. They're a bit trickier to install and require a few minor modifications, but they work great. The main problem is with flat connectors. They don't easily slide over T-connectors. I ended up splitting the plastic sleeve around the spatula to allow the metal spatula to snap into the T-joint for a tight connection. Also, T-connectors don't always go through the insulation, especially when the wiring has heavier insulation. So I simplified the connection by cutting a notch in the insulation with wire strippers before installing the T-connectors. They all worked well and only cost a penny.

Pros
  • Industrial Electrics
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
