After years of considering a Sinewave Beacon headlight, I finally got one this week. (Hence my interest in this thread and hearing everyone techniques). I can confirm I still hate internal wiring (why did I do it!?). But I also really dislike soldering on the SON coaxial connectors (I mean, I love them in use, just loathe the installation process). Admittedly I'm pretty bad at soldering, but I find the connectors extremely difficult to do. Tiny little 24 AWG wire and the huge thermal heat mass of the connector make it challenging for me.
Anyone got some tips of soldering these bad boys one? What's your experience, are they easy and I'm just terrible at soldering? (a definite possibility!)
