I've used 'Bootlace Ferrules' successfully in conjunction with good - quality screw terminal blocks.

Being in RC .. you get to know about fine wire connections !! You say Crimp is not possible ? Maybe - but if you have the gear for RC ... then I suggest JST have various connectors male and female based in various crimp pin sizes.
Just saying ...

"Good quality," as applicable to stranded wire (not solid or ferrules), means there must be a pressure plate, such that the screw does not bear dirrectly on the wire. This prevents strand mage. (ABYC requirement.)

I asked the doc about my strand mage and he thought the company i kept might be the root cause.

You could try WAGO inline splicing connectors. Work for me.

It is a sealed LED light so the wires will have to be joined somewhere.

Seems solder and heatshrink is the least worst option.

Amazon have them and the crimp tools. Personally I prefer something more like this for inline connections but JST works

Would you have room to put both wires into one end of a red crimp connector, then cut it in half ? If so, seal it all with some CT1 or similar.
