Cutting-edge spotlit-railings augment architectural design capability

Leading manufacturer and distributor of designed railing systems, Q-railing, has announced its latest product, Q-lights.

A unique in-built lighting system for stainless-steel railings that employs adjustable 24-volt LEDs, for focused light.

Erik Blanik, Q-lights Product Manager, said: "The design capability of spotlit-railing is huge because we can now illuminate stairways and walkways, without lighting the surrounding space.

"Lighting is a double-edged sword because although it creates atmosphere, its use has always been limited by safety issues. Our heat-control system allows architects to work with a focussed-light emitted from handrails that stay cool to the touch when lit."

True to their company ethos, the new system boasts simplicity, requiring just a single transformer to build a railing of up to 26 meters, holding as many as 52 LED spotlights. With concealed wires and IP66 protection, the Q-lights system is dust-tight, water-tight and durable against heavy-use.

All handrail brackets, adapters and wall flanges are fitted with cable ducts for flexibility, while the LED spotlights are pre-wired for a precision-fit and finish, whether wires are fed via the wall or post.

Most notable during installation is the sound and feel of their recognisable 'one-click technology', which makes railings construction faster.

With less, or no adjustments needed during installation, each component part arrives packaged individually, to maintain the clean polish finish applied as part of the manufacture process.
