Thanks Joe
Yeah the wires are a little crossed/tangled. I tried to tie them up with a zip tie. I may end up cutting the splices off and re-wiring it. I would like to avoid using wirenuts. Maybe I'll go buy some of these gray crimp style connectors shown here.
Those are similar to the ones I used for the lamp socket and terminal block. I think the only difference, is the ones you linked have more insulation on them.
Those wouldn't work for this though because I'm splicing more than two wires together. I would need to use the same/similar crimps that are seen here.
I've crimped two wires together on one side of a butt splice and then a third wire on the other side of the butt splice. A code violation, but it's a light fixture so code doesn't hold water.
I think I would prefer to use the same type seen in this picture though. I don't know if I would like how that would look, two wires on one side of a butt splice.
I've crimped two wires in one end of butt splice before but I used the next size up and twisted the wires together before crimping lol.
Alternatively if the flag terminal is fixed you can use one of these to splice multiple wires together. I use them more when I wire up my traffic lights though.
