RAILled Asymmetric Handrail Lighting
30mm diameter. Asymmetrical beam.
0-45 degree projection (beam centre).
A light pollution solution for Dark Skies
RAILled asymmetric for indoor and outdoor under-handrail lighting, projecting light away from the handrail, creating glare-free illumination. It can be configured to create dynamic, eye-catching effects or safe uniform light at high or low intensities. Install indoors in chic, elegant staircases or outdoors in challenging environments, including sites near saltwater. Moreover, RAILled is a practical solution for light pollution, helping to recover dark skies.
Significantly, RAILled is invisible from above. Zero upward light means visual comfort for pedestrians and zero light pollution. In addition, light is created only forward of the rail. This ensures Dark Skies and dark spaces behind, making it ideal for sensitive wildlife areas.
RAILled asymmetric handrail lighting. Waterproof and vandal-resistant, designed for tough exteriors and finished for chic interiors.

Instant Fit
Our Instant Fit retention system ensures a secure, flush fit every time. The projector is simply inserted into the 30mm diameter aperture.
Tapping a thread is unnecessary; it fits any tube thickness and ensures correct alignment with the handrail every time.
The adjustable retention mechanism ensures the flush finish and transmits any impact onto the opposite (internal) face of the handrail.
Precision Engineered
British precision engineering.
Constructed from a solid billet of Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel, the projector aperture is machined into the body to accurately replicate the results of software simulation.
Asymmetric
Projection
Installed on the underside of the handrail, this discreet light source projects light across the walkway or steps.
The projector can be aimed at any angle between 0-45 degrees.
Lens
Precise light control for optimum performance.
A choice of lenses from 16-94 degrees, creating a contrasting effect or consistent uniform illumination
Seamless Finish
Every Railled is hand-built and calibrated to ensure a flush finish to the curvature of the handrail.
Mirror and grained finishes are available to match.
For square and rectangular handrails, a flat-face option is also available.
Tamper Resistant
The Instant Fit retention system requires a key for insertion and extraction.
Installation is effortless, but once inserted, the mechanism provides a high level of tamper resistance.
Keys are supplied with every order.
Vandal resistant to IK10
Saltwater Resistant
The body and retention mechanism are all made of marine grade 316 stainless steel.
Railled is waterproof to IP67 - temporarily submersible even in saltwater.
Protecting Wildlife and Dark Skies
Recent research has highlighted the importance of nocturnal wildlife and revealed the detrimental effects of artificial lighting at night on these species.
One example is research from the University of Sussex, which has demonstrated that moths are more effective at night than daytime pollinators like bees.
Railled's controlled output eliminates glare and upward light, enhancing the environment for pedestrians and cyclists while protecting wildlife and helping to reduce light pollution.
Dimming
Intensity can be controlled by protocols such as DALI, PWM and 1-10v dimming
Emergency Lighting
Handrail lighting is ideal for way-finding in an emergency situation.
Stand alone 3 hour emergency packs are available along with UPS-compatible LED drivers
Reuse not Recycle
Our long-life products may well outlive your current requirements.
Our projectors can be reused with our cost-effective refurbishment service.
Designed and made in
the UK
Our products are made in the UK, using local suppliers from within an 8-mile radius.
This means reliability, not only in product performance but also delivery of standard and custom designs.
Custom
Every one of our projectors starts off as a billet of solid metal, a blank page. This manufacturing approach allows us to be flexible and responsive; combined with our in-house design, custom requirements can be achieved effectively and on time.
