After surveying the site, it was clear to meet the challenges posed by the college, L10 Lithium Nanophosphate products were needed. L10 provides a 12+ year design life –the highest performing battery lifetime in the industry and delivers a 90% + carbon reduction over products using NiCdand NiMh batteries. Working closely with all project partners, we produced various system options and designs ensuring that any chosen solution would comply with all the relevant Emergency Lighting Regulations including BS5266-1.
Our design provided for a combination of Clevertronics LED emergency and exit luminaires, Hive wireless testing technology and best the performing lithium batteries to achieve the desired results (see ‘Installed System’ to the right.). Using Clevertronics fittings means that the customer receives the best performing emergency fittings on the market enabling better light output when it’s needed enabling increased spacing, which in turn means less fittings are needed to meet the requirements. Also, to minimise disruption the design allowed for sufficient lighting to cover all egress areas.
To reduce the ongoing cost of the overall installation, and for ease of compliance reporting, Zoneworks XT HIVE was selected from our system suite. The benefits of using Zoneworks Hive are great, with minimal hardware needed for installation because of the wireless mesh technology. Hive also can commissioned, monitor, test and
provide reports either remotely or on site–all highly desirable features for reducing cost and achieving greater compliance.
In conclusion, this multisite estate now has 380 Clevertronics emergency and exit fittings that are all connected via one controller. It is this combination of L10 products and the Hive testing system which enables Clevertronics to offer our Advantage Lifetime Support (ALS). ALS provides the owner of the site with Clevertronics support and advice, at no cost to the facility owner, for the lifetime of the system.
