[Alberg30] anchor light wiring

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Bob,

I solder the connections and heat shrink over the joints to keep moisture
out. I do not like wire nuts for this installation or buss bars due to
patina forming from the salt.

Stephen... How did you 'drop it down'?

wire nuts?              frowned on by surveyors
butt connectors?        preferred, but easy to screw up
twist 'n tape?          should solder, too
bus bar?                elegent but overkill

I had the same job in a couple of spots and pigtailled with wirenuts cause 
it's secure.
