Introduction

The Hayward Light Controller offers a dedicated solution 

for controlling your ColorLogic LED pool and spa lights 

from a convenient remote location.  It’s designed to install 

into a standard wall electrical box and is wired to the high 

voltage side of the ColorLogic light’s transformer. Once 

installed, the Light Controller can be used to fully control 

your pool and spa lights.  Turn lights on/off and change to 

fixed colors or shows using the Light Controller’s rotary 

knob and front buttons.

Total allowable light wattage for the Light Controller is 300 

watts.  A combination of various lights can be used but 

total wattage must not exceed 300 watts.  Refer to your 

ColorLogic light’s power consumption when determining 

how many lights to use with the Light Controller.  An 

example of combinations are shown below:

3 Pool Lights

2 Pool Lights and 1 Spa and/or Accent Light

1 Pool Light and 4 Spa and/or Accent Lights

6 Spa Lights

6 Accent Lights (320 model)

IMPORTANT:  

Add the individual wattage for each light 

and do not exceed 300 watts.

Before you Begin

Set your ColorLogic lights to “UCL mode” BEFORE installing 

the Light Controller (refer to your light’s manual).  If not in 

“UCL mode”, the ColorLogic lights will not operate properly 

after the Light Controller is installed.  

NOTE:  The Light Controller requires a Neutral connection 

to operate.  If retrofitting into an existing installation, make 

sure that the electrical box contains a Neutral connection.

Installation

Mounting Location

The Light Controller installs into a standard electrical 

outlet box. When determining a suitable location, consider 

that wiring from the Light Controller must connect to the 

primary side of the light’s low voltage transformer.  

Note that the Light Controller is designed for indoor 

use but can be mounted outdoors if a suitable UL rated 

weatherproof outlet box and cover are used.

To turn off, push on the CENTER KNOB and hold for 3 

seconds. The Light Controller may indicate that it’s “busy” 

by cycling through all LEDs in a circular pattern.  This is 

normal operation and occurs whenever the Light Controller 

is busy processing a request. Let the Light Controller come 

out of this state before continuing.

KNOB to the desired selection.  The PREVIEW WINDOW 

will display the desired color/show.  Briefly push CENTER 

KNOB to  save.  The lights will change to the new selection.

If you try to save the same color or show that is currently 

selected, the Light Controller will indicate that no change 

will occur by blinking LED 1 (see LED Indicator Codes) and 

remain in Show/Color mode.

Lever action terminal blocks are in-

cluded to aid in installation.  Move 

levers to the fully open position when 

inserting wires.  Close the levers to 

lock the wires in place. 
Connect the Light Controller’s green wire to ground using 

a lever action terminal block that is supplied.  The Light 

Controller comes with a plug-in wiring harness for easy 

installation and removal.  All wiring connections should 

be made directly to the harness using the additional lever 

action terminal blocks. After wiring is complete, the harness 

can be plugged into the back of the Light Controller.  It 

can then be secured into the electrical box.  Refer to the 

following diagram for wiring connections.

Operation

After wiring is complete, turn on power at the circuit 

breaker that is connected to Light Controller.  The Light 

Controller will initiate communication with the ColorLogic 

lights.  This may take a minute or two as the lights will 

cycle between colors and finally default to the Voodoo 

Lounge light show.  The Light Controller will indicate this 

in the PREVIEW WINDOW.  

Refer to the following information for operation and control 

of your ColorLogic lights.

Onboard pushbuttons

For best results, press on the outside of pushbuttons.

SHOW/COLOR -this is the default mode and 

is used to control light shows and colors.

SCHEDULE - this is a programming mode and 

is used to set a countdown timer or schedule.
