    Terminal Blocks for DC connections

    Does anybody use or have a reccomendation for sealed terminal blocks? I am planning out a new design for providing power, mainly for DC LED lighting. I would like to have one primary line running to the bow, one to the stern, and one to the tower to provide a powered terminal block that other sources could tap into. I would like one that is enclosed to cover the connections. Currently, I am using line splices, but I would like to rework my setup to something more "professional" looking. Any suggestions or comments on how others are doing this?

    Wiring Needs

    A great place to "window" shop for electrical needs is www dot waytekwire dot com Not sure if they have what you are looking for but they carry a great variety and quality has always been above average. I think you could always step down in sizes of shrink wrap or a liquid tape sealant. Nothing is better than a first class wiring job!

        Thanks guys.

        I think I am leaning toward this one:

        http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/products/5025

        It is not sealed, but it is covered. I also liked how each connected item could be individually fused and the ground busbar was included on it as well. I know I could have probably got by with a terminal strip with no fuses, but the price was so close between the two, I figured fusing it couldn't hurt.

        So anybody know what the typical current draw for LED speaker / cup rings would be? I know this value is small so I was thinking 1 amp fues?
