Anybody up on the state-of-the-art in making connections for low
voltage landscape lighting cable connections?

I've used various dodges over the years to connect the black "lamp
cord" - rubbish push-together taps, big screw together boxes,
automotive splices/taps, etc. The local BORG tells me "we don't carry
connectors for that anymore, just the cable, fixtures and bulbs".

Current issue is above ground, but exposed to elements. Also have
some unreliable "semi-buried" taps I'd like to replace when I get a
round tuit.

I've used wire nuts and then electrical tape, stretching as it is
applied, to seal off the open end of the nut. Worked for me, YRMV.

When the wire nuts are twisted on, then fill the end with some
silicone caulk. An added measure to keep moisture out and help reduce
corrosion of the wires.
