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.
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.
High capacity power designed for large temporary lighting installations.
General lighting remains operational during testing.
Reliable general and emergency lighting for construction sites.
AS/NZS 2293.3 compliant with 1‑hour emergency duration in line with AS/NZS 3012
Fast, compliant exit signage for temporary installations.
High output non-emergency task and area lighting for demanding site conditions.
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.
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.
* For wall mount horizontal and vertical mount applications refer to Design Methods for Demonstrating Lighting
Up to 15 x Battens per cable run and a total of 30 x battens per 48V System.
Each Flood Light is equivalent to 2 x Battens in terms of load on the circuit. For example, on a single cable run you can connect up to 13 battens plus 1 flood light.
Up to 10 x Exits may be added using a splitter between Battens or Flood Lights without impacting the number of Battens or Flood Lights (maximum of 5 per cable run).
A complete cabling and connector system designed for fast, flexible site installs.
• Tool‑free plug & play connections for rapid installation
• Secure, keyed connectors to ensure correct and reliable connection
• IP‑rated system suited to harsh, temporary site environments
• Easy to reconfigure as site layouts change
• Optional locking capability to prevent accidental or unauthorised disconnection

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;
Once a design method is selected, the appropriate compliance pathway depends on whether the luminaires are ceiling‑mounted or wall‑mounted.
Recommended design approach is:
Design Advantage: Ceiling‑mounted installations offer flexibility, allowing either table‑based compliance or calculated design.
Spacing tables from AS/NZS 3012:2019 do not support spacings for the wall mount horizontal and vertical classifications, therefore recommended design approach is:
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 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:
