    Newbie here - I had outdoor lighting installed 2 years ago, and one of the wire runs has all its lights die. It is separated from the main light wire by a sidewalk (unfortunately), and weirdly when it rains all the lights work again so I suspect a bad connection somewhere rather than an individual light failing.

    Am feeling a bit adventurous and might try to run a new connector wire under the sidewalk from the working main light run to the non-operational run and see if that fixes it. (Tell me if this is a bad idea!)

    Wanted to get a good 3-way wire connector that will last. I've used Dryconns before but I feel like they're not beefy enough in case I end up tugging on the wire somewhere. Any advice for a good long-lasting one would be helpful. (I tried a 2-way connector on Amazon that works well, you plug the wires in and clamp down 2 levers which lock the ends in and then screw the waterproof case around it, but they don't make a 3-way version.)

    Thanks

    Shabang, I too have experimented with connectors. Volt Nano-Junction connectors are the best, hands down. Bob
