Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Atlantic SOL Color Changing Lighting. Atlantic’s SOL lighting features
solid brass bodies with an oil-rubbed bronze finish. These lights create a vibrant nighttime
atmosphere with 48 dierent colors and 18 dierent pre-programed color changing
combinations. Multiple fixtures can be connected to run through one transformer and be
controlled by one remote.
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
• Color Changing six wire quick-connect plugs carry both AC and DC current to the in-line
driver. Moisture entering the connections will allow the AC and DC current to cross which can
damage the lighting system.
• Six wire quick-connect plugs are gasketed for outdoor use and must be fully tightened to
prevent water infiltration. Quick-connect plugs are not waterproof and should not be
submersed. Dielectric grease (found in the electrical department of most home
improvement stores) should also be used in all connections to eliminate water infiltration.
• 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 o the ground close to the power
source. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• A 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 # SOLCCEXT) 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.
SPOTLIGHTS & LIGHT RING - SOLCC2 / SOLCC6 / SOLCCLR
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

3
• 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.

lens ring on SOL Spotlights and
Compact Spotlights, 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.
SPOUT LIGHT - SOLCCSL2
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.

HARDSCAPE LIGHTS - SOLCCH06 / SOLCCH12
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: 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 - SOLCCMX3 / SOLCCMX7
All SOL Color Changing LED lights and wiring components are connected via a six wire
quick-connect plug. SOL Color Changing LED Lights will not operate if plugs are aligned
incorrectly. The six pronged connectors have raised arrows that indicate proper alignment.
Color Changing six wire quick-connect plugs carry both AC and DC current to the in-line driver.
Moisture entering the connections will allow the AC and DC current to cross which can
damage the lighting system.
Six wire quick-connect plugs are gasketed for outdoor use and must be fully tightened to
prevent water infiltration. Quick-connect plugs are not waterproof and should not be
submersed. Dielectric grease (found in the electrical department of most home
improvement stores) should also be used in all connections to eliminate water infiltration.
The SOLCCMX3 wiring kit enables up to three SOL Color Changing lights (any models) to be
installed together and controlled by a single transformer, control module and remote. The
transformer must be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI outlet. Please follow the
connection diagram below for proper installation.
The SOLCCMX7 wiring kit enables up to seven SOL Color Changing LED lights (any models)
to be installed together and controlled by a single Transformer, Control Module and Remote.
Please ensure that the quick-connect plugs are properly aligned and follow the connection
diagram below for proper installation.
