Interior LED Handrail Lighting: Modern Safety & Style for Your Home or Business

Modern handrail designs offer more options for customization than ever before. Not only are there options for different infill materials and styles, handrail materials, and colors, there are also integrated lighting options that take design and safety to another level. 

Integrating LED lighting into interior handrails offers the opportunity to increase visibility and enhance the design aesthetics. Low-light spaces, like stairwells and corridors, are made safer and easier to navigate with the illumination that LED lighting offers. In addition to the visibility benefits, LED lighting is energy efficient and code compliant and can be used to enhance other design elements throughout the space.

Let’s take a closer look at our iRAIL LED Illuminated Railings systems and see how they work with a variety of designs.

LED Linear

Unlike other lighted railings that come in preset lengths, the LED Linear system provides full-length coverage for rail runs of any length. This illuminated version or our 1.5” diameter railings comes with either warm or bright white lights with either a clear or diffused lens. The roll-formed slotted rail is ADA-compliant and creates the light you need wherever you need it.  

LED Pods

Our LED Pods are recessed LED modules housed within the stainless steel handrails. This design creates a streamlined minimalist appearance, and multiple spacing options allow you to customize the lighting to your needs. This contemporary lighting solution creates safety and ambiance anywhere you need it.  

LED Sconce

For lighting that also creates a subtle architectural detail, our LED Sconce is a post-mounted LED fixture that offers directional lighting. This style of illuminated railing is ideal for areas that need an effective light source that remains minimal and modern.

LED Lighted Rail Systems in Action

We’ve integrated LED Lighted Rail Systems in a range of interior applications to create just the right look and feel while enhancing safety. 

A Premium Feature with Low-Maintenance Needs

Our stylish railing systems create the ideal low-maintance look. Durable materials paired with lighting create a space that is safe without needed constant attention. At West Coast University, the STRUC Railing is a low maintenance railing that’s a must in high traffic areas that see lots of students coming and going throughout the day. The LED Linear system is able to handle the long runs up and down the stairs to bring additional light to the space.     

Enhance Safety and Visibility Where You Need It Most

Stairwells and corridors are notorious for lacking light and visibility. You can remedy this and enhance safety and aesthetics with LED lighted railing systems. At our very own headquarters, we chose the LED Pods to create soft yet targeted lighting on our staircase. This is even more important when paired with the dark STRUC Panel Railing System, increasing visibility and safety as people navigate the staircase. 

Compatible with Different Railing Systems

Andretti at The Colony is the ideal project to showcase the versatility of the LED Linear system. In this example, we integrated it into the FSR Freestanding Railing System to provide additional light on a ramp leading to an elevated walkway. 

Once on the walkway that uses the SHOETM  Structural Glass Railing System to protect the edge, guests can overlook the gaming area and take in the action below. Integrated lighting for this system creates a feeling of connection throughout the space even when the elevation, flooring, and handrail systems change. Though the purpose of each space changes as well, the lighting remains a common thread and even creates a connection to another location entirely at Andretti Fort Worth.

Reinforce Design Concepts

The great thing about LED illuminated railings is that they can be integrated with other lighted elements to reinforce design concepts. At the SMU Frances Anne Moody Hall, vertical lighting shoots upward along the walls and is echoed in the staircase lighting to create a cohesive space.
