WAC Lighting 5831-CS Colorscaping 12V RGBWW LED Inground Light
The WAC Lighting Colorscaping 12V RGBWW LED Inground Light delivers state-of-the-art tunable landscape illumination, letting each fixture be individually controlled or grouped through the myWAC iOS or Android app. Built from solid brass coated in a bronze (-BBR) finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, this inground fixture is tunable from 2700K to 6500K across millions of colors and is UL & cUL 1598 listed with an IP66 rating for wet locations. It connects to a patented WAC Colorscaping Power Supply (150W or 300W) over standard 12-2 landscape wire, using Power Line Communication so no secondary data wiring is required.
Key Features
- Adjustable Optics: A twist of the light engine inside the housing at indexed intervals allows fixed beam angle adjustment from flood to spot, with tilt in two 10° intervals and full rotation to cast light in any direction.
- Durable Construction: Solid brass coated in a bronze (-BBR) finish for enhanced protection against corrosive elements, recommended for coastal or marine environments.
- Full-Spectrum Color Tuning: Adjustable from 2700K to 6500K with millions of vibrant colors, controlled via the myWAC app or grouped across a Colorscaping system.
- Smart Power Supply Compatibility: Connects to the patented WAC Colorscaping Power Supply, available in 150W (8150CS-TRN-SS) and 300W (8300CS-TRN-SS) capacities, which can also power basic 12V landscape fixtures on the same system.
- Electrical Performance: High-powered LED with 9-15V AC input, 23W (24VA) draw, brightness up to 1020Lm, 85 CRI, and a 50,000-hour rated life, with smooth continuous dimming to 10% via the Colorscaping Power Supply.
- Simple Installation: Installs to the power supply using standard 12-2 landscape wire, making retrofits onto existing landscape lighting systems straightforward.
- Frosted Glass Lens: Diffuses output for a softer, more even wash of light across trees, hedgerows, and facades.

WAC Lighting 5831-CSBZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC 5831-CS inground light run off a standard 12V landscape transformer, or does it need a special power supply?
It needs the WAC Colorscaping Power Supply, available as a 150W (8150CS-TRN-SS) or 300W (8300CS-TRN-SS) unit. The fixture uses Power Line Communication over the same 12-2 landscape wire to carry color and dimming commands, so a conventional 12V transformer will not give you control of it. The Colorscaping supply will also run basic 12V landscape fixtures on the same run, so you can mix standard path lights and color-tunable inground fixtures on one system.
2) Do I have to run data wire for the WAC Colorscaping inground light?
No separate data cable. Control travels over the same standard 12-2 landscape wire that carries power, using Power Line Communication, and each fixture is addressed individually or in groups through the myWAC iOS or Android app. That is what makes it practical to retrofit onto an existing low-voltage landscape run without trenching a second circuit.
3) Is the 5831-CS inground fixture okay for a coastal property with salt spray?
That is the environment it is built for. The housing is solid brass with a bronze (-BBR) coating for corrosion resistance, and WAC recommends it for coastal or marine installations. It carries an IP66 rating and is listed for wet locations, so standing weather and irrigation spray are within its rating.
4) Can I aim the beam after the fixture is set in grade?
Yes. The light engine twists inside the housing at indexed intervals to change the fixed beam angle from flood to spot, tilts in two 10 degree increments, and rotates fully so you can throw light in any direction. Beam spread covers 15 to 60 degrees, which is why the same fixture works for a tight tree trunk graze and a wider facade wash.
5) How many 5831-CS fixtures can I put on one Colorscaping power supply?
Size by draw: each fixture pulls 23W (24VA) at 9-15V AC input. Against the 150W supply (8150CS-TRN-SS) or the 300W supply (8300CS-TRN-SS), that sets your fixture count before you account for wire run losses and any basic 12V fixtures sharing the same transformer.
6) What color temperatures does the WAC Colorscaping inground light produce?
It tunes continuously from 2700K warm white through 6500K daylight, plus millions of saturated RGB colors, all set from the myWAC app. CRI is 85. That lets you hold a warm 2700K look year round on a facade and switch to color only for holidays or events, without swapping fixtures.
7) Do I need to buy a lamp for the WAC 5831-CS inground light?
No lamp to buy. It is an integrated LED module driven by the transformer, with the LED included and rated for 50,000 hours. There is nothing field-replaceable at the bulb level, so plan the fixture itself as the serviceable unit.
8) Is the WAC 5831-CS listed for code-compliant outdoor work?
It is UL and cUL 1598 Listed and IP66 rated, with a wet location rating. Those are the listings an inspector looks for on a buried exterior luminaire.
9) How bright is the 5831-CS and how far does it dim?
Rated at 1425 lumens, with output up to 1020Lm noted for the color-tunable engine, and it dims smoothly and continuously to 10 percent through the Colorscaping Power Supply. Dimming control is by app, and the fixture is also listed as MLV dimmable.
10) What finish options does the WAC 5831-CS come in?
Two finish choices: solid brass coated in bronze, and bronze. Both are the same Colorscaping inground fixture, so pick whichever matches the rest of the landscape hardware on the property.
11) Will this inground light glare when people walk past it?
The lens is frosted glass, which diffuses the output into a softer, more even wash rather than a hard point source. Combined with the adjustable tilt and the 15 to 60 degree beam range, you can angle it off the sightline when uplighting trunks or hedgerows near a walkway.
