👍 [Beginner Tips] Wiring lights

[Nectarines]

I forgot that i took this short video yesterday to show how i connect my light wires to the battery box.

When i first did these kits i struggled with the lights and i think it was because i was being too careful trying to twist the wires and wasnt getting a strong enough connection.

Im sure many of you have this perfected, hopefully its helpful for anyone new

All i do is strip the ends, put them together and twist them

And then i use electrical tape not heat shrink to cover the exposed wires because its just easier imo.

Thank you for this tip @Nectarines

[Nectarines]

No problem

thanks! I was twisting them but maybe too gently

Thanks for sharing

[Nectarines]

You can use a fair bit of pressure, you want them to be pretty tight

[Nectarines]

No problem

[Nectarines]

I agree! The newer kits come with it now. I find it a lot more user friendly

Thanks for sharing this tip i did the same when i made my first miniature house

[Nectarines]

[camila_castro]

I don’t know why but I think this video is so cute hehehe thanks to share the tip with us

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t try using electrical tape but wasn’t a fan of the heat tube. Was afraid I might get burn and some with white colour so when I heat it with a lighter it get Smokey black.

[Nectarines]

Yes me too re the burns haha

[Jerry_Boswijk]

I do the same. Only used heat shrinking tubes ones

[Tricia12]

I gotta admit that they wasn’t that user friendly.

[Emma_Samchek]

Thank you so much for taking this video, it helps alot!

[jeanneL]

Same! someone suggested a heat gun like used in crafting embossing etc. I think I would feel safer with that!

[Nectarines]

No worries

[Nectarines]

Yes that would be a good idea!
