@3rail posted:I hate to pile on.....but I am also one of those guys who thinks the small diameter angel hair wires in these lights are just too tiny for me. Yes....I am in the 65 and older camp so maybe my skills are not what they used to be with working on tiny parts. I tried a magnifier, splicing a larger diameter wire to them plus a few other tricks I learned over the years. I follow the polarity and eventually I can get them all to light.
I purchased 25 of these light sets and installed 12 of them using the linker plugs. No more for me. I plan to sell what I have left. I also have (3) of their cars with lights that use the same small wire. Not fun for me to install.
I really like Woodland Scenic products. I think their new line of fences are nice and my under construction midwestern small town is almost completely populated with their pre-lit buildings. Using their wiring components makes installation a snap.
It is tough to please everybody.

Perhaps they are easier to install for the younger generation with good eyes and nimble fingers, but if you purchases a pair of jewelers glasses I bet it would be no problem (if close up distance is the issue.)
They really can't make the wires any thicker because then they would not be able to run them up the center of the street lamp pole because these are scale. I guess they could attach a pigtale with connectors on the ends coming out the bottom or something, but then you have to drill a bigger hole than the diameter of the lamp post base in order to get the connector through your layout.
A little patience is all it takes. I love their plug and play system. All LED, each hub has adjustable brightness for each pair per port. Tons of lights all powered by 1 power supply.
