Same here only used wago' connectors on ballast. Were handy where there was a garbage red bodine in two lamp luminares. I always date code ballasts when I installed them. So.many of the expensive garbage bodine ballast went bad before they were 5 to years old. Finally convinced my company to stop using them in over 25 electrical rooms. 12 story building had dual 13,200 volt service & three 2,000 KW Diesel gen sets so never lost power. Recently read that Ideal makes a wago type that accepts #10 guage wire. Was taught when using dependable wire nuts to strip the wires at least 7/8" then twist them with large side cutters then trim ends, install wire nut then twist the wire nut with side cutters until you have at least halve a turn of insulation, install wire nut then install quality tape around wire nut down 1" onto insulation. Did this where 480 volt motor pecker heads were filled with water but did not ground out. Also this way works great on machines that have a lot if vibrations ( hammer mills, crushers, vibrating screens etc.
