Removable blade connector

[CET]

Cigarette lighter is only a 2 lead connector.

Yes, but I don't think I'll need more than 2 poles. Just basic on/off functionality is what I'm looking for.

To be clear: I plan to only use the insert of the plug, and I'm going to need to cut down the "ears" on the jack to make it fit.
It's still bigger than I would like, but it should fit.

Yes but you need a compatible controller to control the color sequencing.

I'm going to use a teensy with a prop shield.

Sounds like a fun project. Pics when you get that going!

Thanks for the tip about these ham connectors (also called aviation connectors).
I have 3d-printed holders for these connectors available on thingiverse if anybody is interested:
