I follow the NASA guidelines and crimp everything with the proper size
connectors and crimp tool, then put heat shrink on, then fasten down the wire
with adell clamps or other suitable devices every 6-8". Not a single
electrical related failure ever except when I skipped one or more of the
steps. But that was a rain light. :)

minimize the number of connections / connectors too. Every connection is a
possible point of failure.
