The journey to life safety

Clevertronics have implemented emergency lighting systems within the Rail, Airport and Public Transport sites around Australia and New Zealand. Transport sites are complex  and require an understanding of the regulations and requirements for these busy facilities and structures. Careful planning is required to specify and install the right emergency lighting system for these sites. One of the key factors to consider is the lifetime of the emergency and exit lighting, as ongoing maintenance and the complexity of compliance can be highly disruptive to the building’s operation. 

Clevertronics has two key ranges to choose from depending on the objectives of your project such as extending light fitting lifetimes and reducing maintenance costs. Our LP Premium range provides an eight-year lifetime and 50% maintenance saving whereas our L10 Nanophosphate, offers an incredible 12-year lifetime and 80%+ maintenance saving. Transport projects designed with longevity in mind have removed maintenance concerns after installing the L10 Nanophosphate range, as it’s exceptional 12-year lifetime provides both peace of mind and in most cases, eliminates regular maintenance during this period. 

Transport facilities require a simple automatic testing and monitoring system to ensure the emergency lighting is working as expected. Zoneworks (developed by Clevertronics), has long been the system of choice for facility managers. The latest system upgrade has made the Zoneworks even more powerful, easier to install and operate due to the use of its single controller and no other backbone hardware.  

Zoneworks XT HIVE also enables easy to upgrade existing sites, extending into new development areas, or offering easy installation from when adding new locations. The system utilises a self-dynamic meshing technology that connects lighting across the site. Multi-building sites are ideal for HIVE as it can skip from building to building without the use of additional hardware or antennas. Areas sensitive to RF can also be managed through utilising existing powerline technology within the Zoneworks XT family. 

Zoneworks XT HIVE offers the most advanced testing and monitoring system for all retail projects. With Zoneworks XT HIVE, testing is completed at the touch of a button, and our complimentary lifetime support is offered to ensure the system is working as specified.

London Bus Depots Lighting Upgrade

Working in partnership with RATP DEV and Powercor, Clevertronics addressed the client's challenges and created an emergency lighting life safety system that would suit the specific needs of the site.

Melbourne Underground Rail Link

During a review of a 15km underground rail network that connects four stations in the Melbourne CBD, it was agreed that the emergency lighting technology installed along these tunnel networks were out of date.

Rydges Sydney Airport

Following a meeting of the Australian Institute of Hotel Engineering (AIHE) where changes to FPA legislation and AFSS certification were presented, Disc Electrical and Clevertronics were approached by Rydges to audit the existing Zoneworks Emergency Lighting System and provide recommendations for an upgrade to the latest generation Zoneworks XT HIVE RF Meshing technology.

Legacy Way Tunnel

The twin two-lane tunnels include 37 underground cross passages, which connect Legacy Way’s two tunnels every 120m to provide safe access between the tunnels in the event of an incident.

What emergency lighting solution is best suited for Transport

When considering the best emergency lighting solution for your facility or project it is important to consider two key areas; luminaire lifetime and compliance testing. Increased lifetime will provide lower maintenance costs and automated testing provides fast compliance reporting and reassurance that your life safety devices are in working order.

Luminaire Ranges

• 8+ Year design life

• 50% Maintenance savings

CLP Premium is a lithium Iron phosphate powered range that suits projects looking for a product that has an 8+ year design life. Based on proven site performance the CLP range will deliver over 50% maintenance savings compared to NiCd and NiMH equivalents making it a great choice to improve emergency lighting outcomes.

• 12+ Year design life

• 80% Maintenance savings

L10 Nanophosphate is the world’s leading emergency lighting range that is designed for projects that require the ultimate 12+ year solution. Based on proven site performance the L10 range will deliver over 80% maintenance savings compared to NiCd and NiMH equivalents making it not only the best, but also the lowest total cost option on the market
