Re: OT - do they make this type of crimp connector?

Well that didn't display the best, but you get the idea. I want to run
4 other lights off the cord for the 5th light. I know power wise it's
OK because they expect you to plug all 5 into one outlet with an
extension cord.

I just bought a bunch of halogen under-cabinet lights. Unfortunately
each one is wired individually. I would like to run an electrical cord
for one from my switch t the far side of the cabinet. Then I would
like to splice in my other lights off this single line.

There is something called a tap splice connector, it looks like this:

Tap-Splice Connector

but that's not really what I am looking for. I want to splice in both
wires with one T-shaped connector. I don't care if I have to crimp the
*** end, but I do just want to splice into the main power cord for
the remaining lights.

Basically I want the lights to look like this: (hope this displays
right)

===========================================() <--- 1 light

||
|| || ||

|| || ||
||
|| || ||
||
|| || ||

|| || ||

() 2 light () 3 light () 4 light () 5
light

I figured many people in this group would be able to help me figure
this out.

Do these type of splices even exist? It would have to accept 2 wires
at the *** end and splice into the matching 2 wires from the powered
wire.

Otherwise that's a lot of manual splicing, soldering, and electrical
tape and that doesn't seem very safe.

Hope this made sense!

TIA
