The handrail profile carries a continuous LED strip: marked stairs, soft light.
Made to measure — priced after survey
The product
A continuous strip housed in the channel groove: the stair is marked out without a ceiling light.
Swiss Made glazing: made in Switzerland by our partner glassmaker, installed by our own teams.
An illuminated handrail is not there to decorate; it is there so you can see where you put your foot. The LED strip runs in the profile: the stair nosing is lit without ceiling light falling into the eyes of whoever is climbing. The kit comes for wall or glass mounting.
The values that matter are electrical. The strip runs at 24 V, supplied from 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. It draws 6 W per metre for 337 lumens, with 144 LEDs per metre and an 80° beam angle. The colour temperature is 4000 K — neutral white, neither the yellow of a living room nor the bluish white of a car park.
The protection rating is IP66: the assembly withstands driving rain and jet washing, so it takes outdoor use. The strip can be cut every 55 mm, which sets the real cutting pitch — a 3.42 m line of light does not exist, you land on the lower multiple and make up the difference at the end.
What is decided during installation is the cable. Before ordering you have to settle where the supply comes from, where the transformer sits — dry, ventilated, accessible — and how the drop runs: in the wall, in a post, or in the first support. Resolved after the event, it always shows. In Switzerland, connection to 230 V is reserved to an installer holding a licence: we install the profile, block the glass and pull the cable to the connection point, and the electrician makes the connection and carries out the inspection.

Each section drawing is that of the system as actually installed. The dimensions beside it are the values the system is approved for, not ballpark figures.

The kit changes with the substrate: a wall or a glass panel. The electrical characteristics, on the other hand, are shared — 24 V, 6 W/m, 337 lm/m, 4000 K, IP66.

The loads shown are those the system is approved for. Final sizing depends on the use of the space and the wind pressure at the site — that is what we check during the survey.

Finish
The body comes in aluminium — untreated, anodised, or powder-coated RAL gloss, textured, matt or ARMOR — and, for wall mounting, in stainless steel: AISI 304 for indoors, AISI 316 for outdoors.
On coated work, order the end caps and cable-drop covers in the same batch as the profile. A part coated six months later does not land on the same colour, and on a handrail lit from below the difference shows twice: once in daylight, once under the LED.
The drawing
Every piece starts from a workshop drawing dimensioned to the half-millimetre. That is what guarantees a true line once on site.

Frequently asked questions
4000 K, neutral white. It is the compromise that renders the contrast of the nosing: below it, warm light flattens the relief; above it, you fall into the cold white of plant rooms. On a staircase it is the legibility of the step that decides, not the mood of a living room.
Somewhere dry, ventilated and accessible. A transformer walled into a partition is a future fault you will pay for in demolition. Its position is settled on the drawing, with the electrician, before the profile is ordered.
At 6 W per metre, the driver is sized on the total length plus around 20 % reserve. On long runs you feed from both ends: otherwise the voltage drop reads as a gradient at the end of the line.
Every 55 mm — that is the pitch of the cutting points. The profile, by contrast, is cut to the exact dimension. The difference is taken up at the end cap, never by pulling on the strip or bending it round the corner.
Yes: IP66, so driving rain and jet washing. What does not survive outdoors are improvised joints. They must stay inside the profile or in a sealed box, and the cable must never rise into a connector as a drip loop.
No. The LED strip plays no structural part: the load to be taken remains that of the balustrade, and it is checked for the balustrade.
A licensed electrical installer. Our part stops at the connection point: profile installed, glass blocked, cable pulled and labelled. Connection to the mains and the final inspection are the electrician's responsibility, and the safety certificate forms part of the file.
What drives the price is the cable run and drilling the substrate, often more than the profile itself. The handrail is priced after the survey, excluding electrical work.
