Aquascape Lighting Cables & Controls
Cables and controls that belong to your lighting system
Start with the light family before choosing an extension, splitter or controller. Aquascape two-pin warm-white, four-pin colour-changing and in-lite EASY-LOCK systems do not use one universal set of accessories. Match the connector, electrical rating and permitted installation position to the fixtures you already have or plan to buy.
Match accessories to two-pin warm-white lights, four-pin colour-changing lights or the EASY-LOCK BEAM system. Start from the fixture’s instructions, not simply a connector that looks similar.
Does a Smart Control Hub replace the transformer?
Not where the system requires both. The hub controls the lights; the transformer supplies the appropriate low-voltage power. Check the exact hub package for inclusions.
Plan a complete route back to power
Measure cable routes around the pond and allow access at service points. Check the number of branches, combined load and the rating of every transformer, hub and splitter. A splitter adds connection points, not extra power capacity.
Keep submerged joints properly specified
A waterproof light housing does not automatically make its ordinary quick-connect joint suitable underwater. Use only the specific underwater connection or sealing kit allowed for that family, assembled as instructed. Position controllers and power supplies in their prescribed protected locations.
Can an adaptor make every old light smart?
No. An adaptor can provide a supported connection without adding dimming or colour control. Check what functions the light and controller actually support.
Power supplies and control boxes do different jobs
The 60W low-voltage transformer supplies compatible equipment within its rating. It is not a colour-control hub or an in-lite hub. The 12W XT transformer is a replacement for the stated dosing equipment, not a general upgrade for a pond-lighting circuit.
A splitter adds branches, not watts. Total the connected loads, then select the matching supply and permitted cable arrangement. Do not assume that a replacement dosing transformer or a similar-looking connector belongs to your lighting system.
