Outcome – The audit identified an opportunity to reduce costs by $46,700 providing a total savings of 81% of savings over a 10 year period by upgrading the site to a Clevertest Plus system using the L10 Nanophosphate range.
The Clevertest Plus system is the lowest cost system on the market and combines a self-testing feature with CleverSparky, which is a mobile and web app that manages the Emergency and Exit lighting.
Darren Katsoolis, Property and Infrastructure Manager at St Vincent’s approved the upgrade based on the savings the audit identified and the advantages of having the site’s compliance managed via a dedicated system that is visible to his team at St Vincent’s.

Installation & Set up – The CleverSparky web app was preferred over using the mobile app to set up the site data due to its efficiency when there are 20+ fittings. During installation, a register of fitting details was collated, which included the serial number, device reference, switchboard and location.
Before the data was entered, the Clevertest Plus feature was activated by cycling the circuit breaker in a prescribed sequence which also put the fittings into a test.
It is important to note that all L10 Nanophosphate fittings are compatible with the Clevertest Plus system, but the feature needs to be activated. While the fittings were in test, the register of information was transferred to the CSV template and uploaded into the web app.
The site was now set up and visible also on the mobile app where the test results were collected. The final step was to collect the results of each fitting by observing the visual indicator on the status LED. As expected all the fittings passed the test which was indicated by the status LED showing a fast amber & green light, so were marked as passed using the batch result function.
If a failed flashing sequence is indicated, the status LED indicator should be scanned using the app, this will report the failure reason and log it in the fault tab.
