Suggestions for joining 3 electrical wires together?

I'm about to install several Alpenglow lights, having loved the original 4 we installed in the main cabin. I will have to join 3 wires together, and want the final joint to be sealed (which precludes using spade type connectors). I'm thinking of using a large (yellow) sized butt connector, with 2 wires on one side, and 1 wire on the other side PLUS a short piece of wire simply to take up the space that the larger sized butt connector is designed for. Is there a better way? I don't want to get into anything complicated, this all has to fit in the gap between the overhead paneling and the deck. Just curious how others solve this problem.

Thanks,
Max
