+1 on the alligator clips. When you try to solder a wire to a joint the entire length of the wire has to heat before it is hot enough for the solder to stick. The problem is that it can cause damage to whatever is on the other end of that wire (light socket for example). Use an alligator clip at the base of what you want to solder so that it redirects the heat and won’t cause any damage.
