Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Atlantic SOL Lighting. Atlantic’s SOL lighting features solid brass
bodies with an oil-rubbed bronze finish. These lights work under water and in open air
applications to give your water feature a soothing, warming glow after the sun goes down.
Multiple fixtures can be connected to be run through one transformer.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Caution:
• DO NOT operate this product under any conditions 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 transformer to a 110 volt receptacle protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Always verify that the lens cover is tightly secured before submersing the fixture
• SOL Warm White lights connect via a 2 wire quick-connect plug that is gasketed for
outdoor use. Quick-connect plugs are not waterproof and should not be submersed.
• Warm White SOL lights require a 12 volt AC power source
• A small rectangular driver labeled *DO NOT REMOVE* is attached to the end of the light
cord by a quick-connect plug. The driver converts AC current from the transformer to DC
current before it is sent to the light.
• The driver may be temporarily disconnected at this junction when pulling the light cord
through a conduit sleeve or hardscape wall. Once the cord is pulled the driver must be
reattached before connecting the light to a power source. Failure to reattach the driver will
damage the LED and void the warranty.
• Permanently removing the driver or cutting/ shortening the cord between the driver and the
light fixture will damage the LED and void the warranty
• Extension cords (part # SOLWEXT) are available to add an additional 20’ of cord to any
SOL Light. Only one cord can be used on each light. Never connect multiple extension
cords together.
• Atlantic SOL Warm White lights can be connected to a larger outdoor lighting system by
cutting the cord and stripping the wires, however this must be done on the 12 volt AC input
side of the driver. A quick-connect pigtail (REP SOLPIGTAIL) is available so lights can be
attached to a larger transformer without cutting/ stripping the wires.
SPOTLIGHTS & LIGHT RING - SOLW2 / SOLW6 / SOLWLR
Installation
SOL Spotlights oer three dierent 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
The SOL Light Ring is ideal for illuminating fountains and uplighting 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. 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.

SPOUT LIGHT - SOLWSL2
Installation
The Spout Light can be installed behind a wall, shining through a wall spout (see Figure 1) or
under a core-drilled stone or pot (see Figure 2). The light is designed to be installed in any tee
that has 1” female threads. If the tee is larger than 1”, a reducing bushing with 1” female threads
will be needed. Install the light into the tee, with the light facing the water outlet. Apply teflon
tape, paste or RTV silicone to the threads of the light and thread the light into the fitting. Do not
use the cord to twist in the light or allow it to become twisted when tightening. The spout light
cannot transmit light through sweeps or around corners. There must be a direct path for the
light to be transmitted. The use of rigid PVC plumbing (1” diameter or greater) is highly
recommended for the best results.

Maintenance
Replacement LED Bulbs are available for SOL Spout Lights. To loosen and tighten the brass lens
ring on SOL Spout Lights, use the included key. Simply place the key in the slots on the brass lens
ring to loosen or tighten. Ensure that all components are installed correctly after servicing. Inspect
the silicone gaskets for defects and proper placement before re-assembling. Ensure that the lens
ring is tightly secured before submersing the fixture.
HARDSCAPE LIGHTS - SOLWH06 / SOLWH12
Installation
Hardscape Wall Lights are designed to be installed into walls and columns, just under the
capstone. The LED light strip and driver can be replaced without removing the capstone. The
cord between the driver connection and the light
is approximately 19’, enabling the driver to be left
outside of the column or wall for future access.
When laying the base course of stone, either notch
the cord into the wall or leave a notch slightly larger
than ¾” to pass the cord through. If multiple lights
are going to be installed, the notch will need to be
slightly larger to accommodate multiple cords.
When installing the mounting bracket, make
sure to notch the stone for the ¼”cord. Test fit the
mounting bracket and cord, so that it does not rock
or put too much pressure on the cord. The holes in
the bracket are for glue points to hold the capstone
and bracket in place.
NOTE: The Hardscape Lights are not submersible.

Maintenance
Replacement LED fixtures are available
for Hardscape Lights. Remove the screws
on the existing light, being careful not
to let the light strip fall, as this could break
the plug connecting the light to the cord.
Lower the light and squeeze the locking
clip; this will allow the plug to be separated.
Plug in the new light, making sure the
gasket has not moved or shifted and that
the notched edge of the light strip is
between the two ridges on the cord
gasket. Align the screw holes and hand
tighten the screws.
WIRING KITS - SOL30X4 / SOLW88X10
All SOL Warm White lights and wiring components connect via a 2 wire quick-connect plug
that is gasketed for outdoor use. Quick-connect plugs are not waterproof and should not
be submersed.
The SOL30X4 wiring kit enables up to four SOL Warm White lights (any models) to be
installed together and powered by a single 30 watt transformer. The transformer must
be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI outlet. Please follow the connection diagram
below for proper installation.
The SOL88X10 wiring kit enables up to ten SOL Warm White lights (any models) to be
installed together and controlled by a single transformer and timer. The transformer must
be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI outlet. Please follow the connection diagram
below for proper installation.
