Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Color Changing SOL Lighting. Atlantic’s SOL
lighting features solid brass bodies with an oil-rubbed bronze finish. These LEDs
create a vibrant nightime atmosphere with 48 different colors and 16 different
pre-programed color changing combinations. Multiple LEDs can be connected to
be run through one transformer and be controlled by one remote.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those for which it
is specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock,
product failure, or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing SOL Lighting.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a 110 volt receptacle
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• The input power to the Color Changing Control Module is 12 volt AC. The
Control Module can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting transformer;
however this must be done on the 12 volt AC input side of Control Module.
Removing the Control Module or tampering with the cord between the Control
Module and the light fixture will damage the LEDs and void warranty.
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not submerse
the Control Module or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be mounted off the
ground close to the power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
Installation
Fixture Installation
SOL Color Changing Spotlights offer three different mounting options for your
convenience:
• Adjustable stand: for placement on rock ledges, under waterfalls or for
highlighting streambeds
• Ground stake: for installation around the perimeter of the water feature or
in conventional landscape installations
• Nested: without the stand or stake, amongst the pond stones
SOL Color Changing Light Ring is ideal for illuminating fountains and up lighting
waterfalls.
• Proper light placement is important for every project. Whenever possible lights
should be positioned facing away from the viewing area to minimize hot spots.

of the light transitions. There are 8 levels for each.
Synchronizing the Remote to the Control Unit
If the remote control stops working properly, please install fresh batteries. If
problems persist, the remote may need to be re-synced to the control module.
Follow the instructions below to re-sync the remote control.
1. Unplug the transformer .
2. Hold the F button down (The red indicator lamp on the remote will be blinking).
3. While still holding the F button down, plug in the transformer. The Colorfalls
will start blinking.
• If the light ring blinks three times and stops, the remote and control unit
are synchronized.
• If the light ring blinks six or more times, it is clearing all codes. Repeat
steps 1-3.

• When camouflaging the light cord with rocks and gravel, always leave enough
slack in the cord so that the fixture can be raised above water level for servicing.
• Always verify that the lens cover is tightly secured before submersing the fixture.
• Never cut or shorten the light cord between the Control Module and the light
fixture. Altering the Light Cord will damage the LEDs and void warranty.
• 6 wire extension cords (part # SOLCCEXT) are available to add an additional
20’ of cord to any SOL Color Changing Light. Only one cord can be used on
each light. Never connect multiple extension cords together.
SOLCCMX3 Control Module Installation
• The Control Module is weather resistant with an IP54 rating. Do not submerse
it or expose it to heavy rainfall. It must be mounted off the ground close to the
power source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• Ensure that all cable connections are secure.
• Install the control box in a well-ventilated area to ensure that the module
operates within its specified working temperature.
• Verify that the control module input voltage is 12 volt AC. We recommend that
you use the transformer provided with this unit.
• Do not connect the power before the cord connections are finished.
• Do not cut or alter the cord between the SOL Light and the Control Module.
• The remote control requires three (3) AAA batteries (not included).
Connecting the Lights
Follow the connecting chart below to connect all cables. The SOLCCMX3 Control
Module and 3-way splitter will accept any combination of Color Changing SOL Light
styles. If more lights are required, multiple splitters can be connected together to
create more outlet connections. A larger transformer (80 watts
maximum) is required if additional lights are installed.
