WAC Lighting 8-TRN-CS Colorscaping LED RGBWW Power Supply
The WAC Lighting Colorscaping LED RGBWW Power Supply drives WAC's fully tunable landscape lighting system, sending power and data over standard 12-2 landscape wire to every connected Colorscaping luminaire. Available in 150W (8150CS-TRN-SS) and 300W (8300CS-TRN-SS) capacities, this patented 12V transformer uses Power Line Communication (PLC) technology so no secondary control wiring is required. Built from marine grade stainless steel and rated UL & cUL 1598 and IP65 for wet locations, it is engineered to hold up in coastal or marine environments while controlling fixtures from 2700K to 6500K in millions of colors via the myWAC iOS or Android app.
Key Features
- Dual Capacity Options: available in 150W (8150CS-TRN-SS) and 300W (8300CS-TRN-SS) capacities to match project scale.
- Durable Construction: marine grade stainless steel engineered to withstand challenging environments with enhanced protection against corrosive elements, recommended for coastal or marine environments.
- Smart App Control: the myWAC iOS or Android app individually controls or groups each Colorscaping luminaire, adjusting from 2700K to 6500K plus millions of bright and vibrant colors.
- PLC Technology: data is communicated to Colorscaping fixtures through standard 12-2 low voltage landscape cable using Power Line Communication, eliminating the need for secondary control wires.
- WiFi and Wired Connectivity: WiFi powered control with no range limitation to fixtures as long as the power supply is within WiFi range, plus a Cat45 port available for a more reliable hardwired internet connection.
- Balanced Voltage Taps: multiple 12V taps autodetect voltage drop and send a guaranteed balanced 12V to each landscape lighting fixture on the system.
- Shared Power Banks: two shared power banks power both Colorscaping and basic 12V landscape fixtures on a single system, activating full smart controls for Colorscaping fixtures and basic smart features (timer/scheduler, on/off, brightness) for non-Colorscaping fixtures.
- 16-Quick Adjust Color Settings: interface directly with the power supply to easily toggle and test Colorscaping fixtures.

WAC Lighting 8150CS-TRN-SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to run separate control wiring for WAC Colorscaping fixtures, or does the transformer send data over the power cable?
No separate control wiring. The WAC Colorscaping power supply uses Power Line Communication, so color and dimming data ride along the standard 12-2 low voltage landscape cable that already feeds the fixtures. That is what makes it workable as a retrofit on an existing 12V run, since you are not pulling a second cable back to every luminaire.
2) Should I order the 150W or the 300W Colorscaping transformer?
Two capacities are offered: 150W (8150CS-TRN-SS) and 300W (8300CS-TRN-SS). Size it to the connected load of the run, then add the 300W where you are feeding a larger zone or expect to extend the system later. Both are the same 12V output platform with the same stainless housing and app control, so the only decision is total wattage on the system.
3) Can I put non-Colorscaping 12V landscape fixtures on the same transformer?
Yes. The supply has two shared power banks that run both Colorscaping and basic 12V landscape fixtures on one system. The Colorscaping luminaires get full smart control (color, tuning, grouping); the plain 12V fixtures get the basic smart features only, meaning timer/scheduler, on/off, and brightness.
4) Will this transformer hold up mounted outdoors near the ocean?
It is built for it. The enclosure is marine grade stainless steel, rated IP65 and wet location, and UL and cUL 1598 listed, and WAC recommends it for coastal or marine environments where salt and corrosive air are the problem.
5) Can I add color-changing control to an existing 12V landscape lighting system I already installed?
That is one of its intended uses. Because data rides the existing 12-2 cable, the supply can replace the old transformer on an installed 12V system without new control wiring. Your existing non-Colorscaping fixtures keep running off the shared banks with on/off, brightness and scheduling; to get color and 2700K-6500K tuning on a given fixture, that fixture has to be a Colorscaping luminaire.
6) How far can the fixtures be from the transformer before the app loses control?
There is no range limit between the power supply and the luminaires for control purposes, because the commands travel on the landscape cable itself. What has to be in range is the power supply and your WiFi network. If the WiFi signal at the transformer location is marginal, there is a hardwired network port on the unit for a more reliable internet connection.
7) Do I have to use a phone app to commission this, or can I test the lights at the transformer?
You can test at the unit. There are 16 quick adjust color settings on the power supply itself so you can toggle and verify Colorscaping fixtures while you are still at the box. Full control, grouping, scheduling and the 2700K to 6500K tuning run through the myWAC app on iOS or Android.
8) Is this a plug-in transformer or does it need to be hardwired by an electrician?
It is a hardwired unit, not a portable plug-in supply, so line-side connection is part of the install. Output is 12V to the landscape run, with multiple taps that autodetect voltage drop and deliver a balanced 12V to each fixture on the system, which saves tap-chasing on long runs.
9) Do I still need a separate dimmer for a WAC Colorscaping landscape system?
No wall dimmer is required. Dimming is handled through the app, and the supply is also listed as MLV dimmable. For a typical landscape install the app covers brightness, scheduling and color, so there is nothing else to specify on the control side.
10) Is the WAC Colorscaping power supply Energy Star rated?
No, it does not carry an Energy Star listing. The listings it does hold are UL and cUL 1598 and an IP65 wet-location rating, which are the ones that matter for an outdoor landscape transformer inspection.
