Please read all instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

  • Always disconnect power to the transformer before performing any maintenance or installation.
  • Ensure all electrical connections are made in a dry environment and are properly sealed to prevent water intrusion.
  • Do not operate the light if the power cord or light housing is damaged.
  • This product is designed for use with a 12-volt AC transformer (WW30X4 or equivalent). Do not connect directly to higher voltage power sources.
  • Keep children and pets away from the light during operation and installation.
  • The light unit may become warm during operation. Allow it to cool before handling.

3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the light and power cord for any signs of damage. The package should include:

  • 1 x Atlantic Water Gardens 2Watt LED Pond Light (Model WWCS2)
  • 1 x Base
  • 1 x Ground Stake
  • 1 x LED Lens (pre-installed)

3.2 Placement

The WWCS2 spotlight can be placed both underwater and in landscape settings. Its oil rubbed bronze finish helps it blend naturally into various environments.

  • Underwater Use: Position the light to highlight specific features such as waterfalls, statuary, or fish. Ensure the light is stable and will not shift.
  • Landscape Use: Use the included ground stake to secure the light in soil to illuminate pathways, plants, or architectural elements.

3.3 Electrical Connection

The WWCS2 light requires a 12-volt AC transformer (e.g., Atlantic WW30X4, sold separately) for operation. It comes with a 20-foot power cord and a quick-connect plug for easy installation.

  1. Ensure the 12-volt transformer is unplugged from the power source.
  2. Connect the quick-connect plug from the light's power cord to the corresponding receptacle on your 12-volt transformer. Ensure a secure connection.
  3. If integrating into an existing system, the flat 2-wire cord can be cut, stripped, and tied into your current low-voltage wiring. Ensure all connections are waterproofed using appropriate connectors and sealant.
  4. Once all connections are secure and dry, plug the 12-volt transformer into a GFCI-protected outdoor electrical outlet.

The small remote driver, located 18 inches from the light, helps decrease heat and allows the cable to pass through 1-inch sweeps for easier routing.

4. Operating Instructions

Operation of the Atlantic Water Gardens WWCS2 LED Pond Light is straightforward once properly installed.

  • Power On/Off: The light will turn on when the 12-volt transformer is powered on. If your transformer is connected to a timer or a remote control system, the light's operation will follow that system's schedule or commands.
  • Light Output: The WWCS2 provides a warm white light with a color temperature of 2800 Kelvin, mimicking traditional halogen and incandescent lighting. It has a 45-degree beam angle, ideal for accent lighting.
  • Remote Control: If your system includes a compatible remote control for the 12-volt transformer, use it to control the light's power as per the transformer's instructions.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your LED pond light.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens of the light to remove any algae, debris, or mineral deposits that may accumulate, especially in underwater applications. Use a soft cloth and clean water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • LED Unit Replacement: The LED units inside the lights are designed to be easily replaceable. If the LED unit fails, contact Atlantic Water Gardens support for replacement parts and instructions. Always disconnect power before attempting any replacement.
  • Cord Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace the light if the cord is compromised.
