Default How to splice 2 wires into 1

Any help on this? I cannot solder or find any butt conectors. I only have quick splice connectors.

I am installing 2 LEDs so I need to combine the positive wires from both leds into 1 wire that will go into a switch. The negatives dont need to be connected since I am grounding them seperately.

Western Union splices are great for wiring, and can be taped over without soldering, or soldered for a more robust connection.







You can also use 2 wires on one side, with one on the other side, or 4 wires, 2 per side, etc.

Soldering iron (with skill to use it) and proper splices are essential Man Tools. Get them!
