Default wire splice

Usually engineers have highly technical and complicated answers to simple
problems.

Tradesmen (that's me!) use wire nuts and lots of electrical tape.

I would probably solder the individual wires together and cover them
with heat shrink, then wrap with friction tape then finally electrical
tape (or really big heat shrink if I had it)

if this is going to be used in a wet location, before sliding the heat
shrink over the splices, smear a little silicone grease on them to make
absolutely sure that no water can get in and corrode the wires.
