The Next Generation of Clevertronics Temporary Lighting

The Clevertronics 48V Temporary Lighting Range has been developed to improve safety, efficiency and scalability on modern construction sites. Developed to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 3012, the 48V system provides reliable general and emergency lighting that can move and adapt as site layouts change.

Why 48V? The Next Step Forward

Clevertronics 48V SELV technology delivers greater scalability and capability while maintaining site safety

  • Higher capacity — connect more than double the fittings per power supply vs 24V
  • Longer runs — up to 30 battens per power supply (two legs of 15) plus up to 10 exits
  • Extended coverage — 8‑metre cable segments supporting maximum cable run up to 136.5m per line
  • Streamlined installation — quicker installs and relocations, reducing labour time and downtime

Switched Control Without Compromise

The Clevertronics 48V system enables smart control of general lighting while ensuring emergency lighting remains fully operational and compliant. This enables;

  • General lighting to be switched on or off as required
  • Emergency batteries to remain continuously charged and ready
  • Reduced energy consumption through limited  run time
  • Extended luminaire life & minimisation of light pollution where required

Purpose-designed for Construction and Demolition Environments

The Clevertronics 48V temporary lighting system is engineered specifically for the conditions and operational demands of construction and demolition sites, where lighting infrastructure is temporary, frequently moved, and exposed to harsh environments.

Reliable operation in harsh site conditions

  • Luminaires and cabling are designed with robust housings and IP-rated protection to withstand weather exposure and site contamination.
  • LED light sources and electronics are selected for durability in vibration-prone environments such as multi-storey builds and active demolition areas.
  • System reliability is maintained despite frequent power cycling and relocation.
  • Result: Consistent lighting performance in environments where standard temporary solutions are prone to damage or failure.

Flexible mounting for temporary structures

  • Luminaires support surface mounting or suspension to suit formwork, scaffolding, temporary ceilings and structural steel.
  • Mounting methods are adaptable to changing ceiling heights and site layouts.
  • No permanent fixing methods are required.
  • Result: Lighting can be positioned where needed, regardless of the temporary nature of the structure.

Designed for frequent relocation and reuse

  • Lightweight, modular components allow fittings to be removed and reinstalled without specialist tools.
  • Plug & play connectivity avoids repeated termination and re-wiring.
  • Products are designed for multiple install-remove cycles without degradation.
  • Result: Reduced labour time and improved system longevity across the life of a project.

Aligned to construction site lighting requirements

  • System design aligns with AS/NZS 3012 construction site lighting provisions.
  • Emergency and egress lighting considerations are integrated into the system architecture.
  • Components are designed to support compliant lighting layouts as site conditions change.
  • Result: Easier compliance management and reduced risk for contractors and site managers.

Switched lighting without compromising emergency readiness

General lighting can be switched on or off as required while emergency batteries remain continuously charged. This means emergency lighting stays compliant, with less unnecessary run time, reduced energy usage and longer luminaire life.

Designed to move as your site evolves

  • Lightweight, modular fittings
  • Surface mount or suspension options
  • No permanent fixings required
  • Built for repeated install and removal cycles
  • Easy reconfiguration without specialist tools

48V Temporary Lighting System

What is the maximum distance of a compliant cable run?

The Clevertonics 48V Temporary Lighting System is designed to support a maximum run length per cable of up to 136.5m at typical ceiling mounting heights. With a minimum 2 x cable runs per power supply, that’s a total of 273.0m, which may be split into multiple cable runs and over multiple levels of a construction site.

Ceiling Mount

Spacings are in accordance with AS/NZS 3012:2019 Clause 2.7.3.1 (b) and based on the TEMP-48V-1200-EM classification (CO=C200, C90=C200), and based on the C90 end-to-end spacing as indicated in image above.

The Clevertronics 48V Temporary Lighting System is engineered to support safe and compliant construction sites, achieving 40lx average of general lighting levels to AS/NZS 3012:2019 and a minimum 201x for safe movement in line with AS/NZS1680.0, across a 2.0m wide egress path.

48V Temporary Application Guide

Design Methods for Demonstrating Emergency Lighting Compliance

Emergency lighting must be installed on all construction and demolition sites in areas such as stairwells, access corridors, and locations adjacent to switchboards whenever adequate general illumination cannot be achieved through natural light alone. This lighting must enable occupants to move safely throughout the site and provide clear paths for entry and exit.

Within these required areas, emergency lighting must operate for a minimum of 1 hour following loss of normal power and comply with one of the following compliance approaches as per AS/ NZS 3012:2019;

Option 2 - Spacing Tables as per AS/NZS 3012:2019;

  • 48V-TEMP-1200-EM > CO=C200, C90=C200
  • 48V-TEMP-600-EM > CO=D80, C90=C160

Application by Mounting Type

Once a design method is selected, the appropriate compliance pathway depends on whether the luminaires are ceiling‑mounted or wall‑mounted.

Ceiling‑Mounted Applications

Recommended design approach is:

  • Option 2 may be used where the luminaire classification, mounting height and spacing align with the AS/NZS 3012:2019 spacing tables
  • Options 1 and 3 may also be used where a calculated approach is preferred or required

Design Advantage: Ceiling‑mounted installations offer flexibility, allowing either table‑based compliance or calculated design.

 

Wall‑Mounted Applications

Spacing tables from AS/NZS 3012:2019 do not support spacings for the wall mount horizontal and vertical classifications, therefore recommended design approach is:

  • Apply Option 1 or 3 using the IES file to generate lux plot calculations
  • Calculations must comply with AS/NZS 3012:2019 clause 2.7.3.1(a) or clause 2.7.3.1(c)

Design Confidence: Calculated design enables precise verification of light levels and ensures compliance across a wide range of wall‑mount scenarios.

If using the 48V Temporary in wall mount application, seek spacing guidance based on Option 3, contact Clevertronics for support.

 

Maximum Cable Run Length

Maximum cable run length of the 48 Temporary emergency battens is determined by spacings in accordance with Option 2, the spacing tables from AS/NZS 3012:2019. These are summarised below and based on C90 end‑to‑end spacing:

1200mm Batten (with 8m loom)
Ceiling Mount (C0=C200, C90=C200)

Mounting HeightMax Spacing (C90)Max Length per Cable Run (15 × 1200mm Battens)Max Length 2 × Cable Runs (30 × 1200mm Battens)

Mounting HeightMax Spacing (C90)Max Length per Cable Run (15 × 1200mm Battens)Max Length 2 × Cable Runs (30 × 1200mm Battens)

600mm_batten

 

Example Scenario

  • Connect up to 30 emergency battens per power supply (double line) with 8m interconnection cables.
  • This equates to a maximum of 15 emergency battens per line with 8m interconnection cables between each fitting.
  • Each flood light is considered equivalent to 2 battens in terms of load on the circuit. For example, on a single line, you can connect up to 13 emergency battens plus 1 flood light.
  • Maximum number of connected fittings per line is determined by overall voltage drop.
