I need to replace an outdoor security light - the mains wire from the existing one goes through a small hole in the outbuilding that the light is mounted on. As the new light has a relatively short wire (about 3 feet) I need to cut the mains wire from the old one (about 15 feet long) and splice in the new.

As it's an outbuilding (so likely to get damp in winter) I want to splice the wires together using some kind of waterproof enclosure - preferably of a type where the stripped wire ends are simply inserted and screwed in place.

I can't even remember what a none-waterproof connector is called, let alone a waterproof one!

Would need to accomodate live, neuteral and earth wires of course.

Any suggestions please?
