V-Rail from Intense Lighting - Complete Illuminated Handrail Solutions
An illuminated handrail is one of those details that look amazing when installed but can be a nightmare to organize. Traditionally, there is a rail vendor, a lighting vendor, the architect, the lighting designer, and the contractors who all have to coordinate everything from the shape of the rail to illuminance levels and field dimensions. That's why I love working with the Intense Lighting V-Rail system.
If there is one thing that makes V-Rail a wholly different system, it's that it’s a complete illuminated handrail solution. What does that mean? Well, Intense has an entire team dedicated just to V-Rail. That's designers, engineers, and quotation teams. All that needs to be decided is the diameter of the rail and desired light levels. From there, with a set of plans and elevations, the V-Rail team can design out the system. But the service doesn't stop there. Once the design is signed off on, and the order is released, a team goes to the site and verifies field dimensions to ensure every measurement is exact. That cuts out multiple layers of design time and many rounds of field dimension coordination, and the dreaded errors that can sometimes occur.
The Best Just Got More Flexible
The original V-Rail system centers around straight sections of LEDs with either symmetrical or asymmetrical distributions. While this works well for most handrail designs, the straight bars limit the rail significantly - curves are impossible.

Curves!
