I think I might go with a Molex style connector. I wired up the fixtures with 20ga wire and left 8" or so hanging out the sides to make them disconnect-able. And I had a roll of 18/8 wire kicking around so I ran 2 - 5' lengths of that between the dim4 which was under the tank in the cabinet to the light fixture in the hood. I needed a total of 14 wires for all the different channels and the fans so it worked out pretty good. I hooked up all of the one 18/8 for the + side and the other for the - side. If I go with a couple of the molex type connectors I can plug and unplug one fixture at a time if repairs or upgrades are necessary.
