Here is what I use for the output plugs. I always buy enough to get the best price. Some think they are overkill but I tie the grounds together with ring connectors and I think this is the best. For me this is the best and cheapest as a plain white or brown 2 conductor cord from the big box stores will cost the same or more.

I agree.Very polished.

Do you also have a link for the strain relief bushings?Not sure what your asking , The rubber Grommets are in the bottom of the case were the wire goes thru fit real snug as for strain relief I zip tie the cords together inside of the case 2 channels per 1 zip tie.
I was looking at the RJ45 weatherproof connector, and I think we could probably use these as well...

I have used Americord recently and the little bit I pay extra for these cords to already have one end stripped and seperated is worth it to me, plus I also liek the clean look but like not having a grounded female plug that is virtually unnecessary. The output cords I purchase are these:

Just as an FYI the ground has nothing to do with the delivery of power. The only thing the ground is for is to give the electricity an escape route if what you are using breaks. The ground doesn't normally have any power on it at all, in fact if it ever does it will trip a ground fault interrupt outlet (which we should all be using for outdoor outlets).The ground is there to provide a path for the electricity to travel should the neutral fail or the hot comes in contact with a grounded connection.
That is incorrect, a GFCI does not detect a fault between the hot wire and ground but rather between the hot wire and neutral. In fact the NEC recommends that if you have an older dwelling and there are no grounds at the boxes replace the regular outlets with GFCI outlets for better protection.
If your flood lights have the three prong plugs go ahead and connect the grounds if you'd like. You might want to use heat shrink around the whole thing to be 100% sure it doesn't short anything out inside your LE box. Just keep in mind the actual flood light bulbs only have two connectors so the ground is only used if the housing becomes damaged for safety purposes.
