1 Illumine & RAILled illumination for metal handrails

2 The advantages of handrail illumination with SG Systems Performance lighting & Energy efficiency Our Illumine and RAILled products are designed to provide high efficiency lighting precisely where it is needed. With our comprehensive choice of control lenses each installation can be tailored to the performance required. Spacings can vary depending on the specification but typical installations centres are: Domestic 1-1.5metre Commercial 0.5-1m Public Transport So the power used per metre can be as little as 1watt per linear metre with performance comparable to a high mounted floodlight but without glare and light pollution. Visual acuity We only perceive objects by the light reflected from them. At night it makes sense to illuminate the path you are treading, highlighting any obstacles and deviations. Our eyes automatically accommodate for the brightest illuminance in our field of vision, reducing our perception of contrast. With our products pools of light can be produced to provide contrast on stairs and changes in level, in addition tighter spacings will provide a uniform illumination to highlight small deviations in walkways Cabling convenience A tubular handrail provides a perfect conduit for cables, allowing lighting to be installed over many metres without the need for surface conduit or ground excavations Vandal resistance Our handrail products become part of the handrail and as a consequence this makes them very resistant to high impact loads. Resistant to >IK10 Light pollution Light pollution is excessive and inappropriate artificial light. The four components of light pollution are often combined: Urban Sky Glow the brightening of the night sky over inhabited areas. Light Trespass light falling where it is not intended, wanted, or needed. Glare excessive brightness which causes visual discomfort. High levels of glare can decrease visibility. Clutter bright, confusing, and excessive groupings of light sources, commonly found in over-lit urban areas. The proliferation of clutter contributes to urban sky glow, trespass, and glare. It has been proven that light pollution has a detrimental effect on nocturnal wildlife. Our handrail products efficiently deliver just the right amount of light directly onto the ground, meaning lower intensity, dramatically reduced light scatter and little or no direct illuminance of wildlife. Interiors Illumine and RAILled are also perfectly suited for interior use; on staircases where the secreted light source dramatically reduces glare; highlighting steps, providing low level corridor lighting. Emergency Their low mounting height make illuminated handrails ideal for emergency lighting. To make installation easy we provide autonomous, remote sited emergency packs that power the handrail for up to 3 hours.

Complete design flexibility: spacing, efficiency, compliance or just funky - Illumine and RAILled let you decide Our design service provides you with computer generated simulation of your project and it s expected performance. Results are formatted in views and intensity diagrams. Below are a selection views illustrating different parameters. A vertical surface has been added to show light patterns visible on that plane. To achieve uniformity it is always best to install INSERT at an angle off the perpendicular or install RAILled with the required asymmetric angle This design is of an actual installation: TFL Bankside Pier London - Main Brow The performance standards for this type of heavy pedestrian walkway is an average illuminace of 50 lux with a minimum / average ratio of 0.4 (Emin/Em) Brow dimensions: 37.5 x 2.8 metres. Two parallel handrails. Product: Illumine watt 94 degree lens. Installed at 40 degrees from perpendicular, 0.375m spacings. Total number installed : 200. Average illuminance: 76 lux Emin/Em: Total power 240watts - 6.4watts/metre If lighting standards did not need to be strictly adhered to, we could have used this alternative design to reduce consumption further: Brow dimensions: 37.5 x 2.8 metres. Two parallel handrails. Product: Illumine watt 94 degree lens. Installed at 15 degrees from perpendicular, 1.5m spacings. Total number of downlights: 50. Average illuminance:15 lux Emin/Em: 0.35 Total power 83watts - 2.2watts/metre A different scenario where the walkway is only 1 metre wide: Dimensions: 37.5 x 1 metre. One handrail. Product: Illumine / RAILled watt 36 degree lens. Installed with 25 degree projection, 1.2m spacings. Total number of downlights: 32. Average illuminance: 74 lux Emin/ Em 0.42 Total power 53watts - 1.4watts/metre Let s assume the previous walkway is in a wildlife sanctuary where standard uniformity is required but the levels need to be very low; to achieve both we will have to a add dimming control to reduce the power by 50%: Dimensions: 37.5 x 1 metre. One handrail. Product: Illumine / RAILled watt 94 degree lens. Installed with 15 degree projection, 1.5m spacings. Total number of downlights: 30.

Two parallel handrails. Product: Illumine / RAILled watt 36 degree lens. Installed with 35 degree projection, 2m spacings. Total number of downlights: 30. Average illuminance: 23 lux, maximum 136lux Emin/ Em 0.02 Total 50power watts - 1.7watts/metre

4 The heart of our handrail lighting products; our PRO S projection system All of our Illumine and RAILled products feature this close coupled projection system; the combination of a 1Watt Osram LED, our unique heat transfer system and a high efficiency focussing lens. Performance and economy By selecting the perfect lens we tailor our products to provide the maximum performance in luminosity and efficiency for each individual project. Every 1watt Illumine and RAILled is supplied with the optimum lens type to provide the correct overall intensity, uniformity and the optimum spacing to reduce component and installation costs. A selection of lenses is available with beam spreads from 6.4 to 94 degrees. Please contact us for our photometric design service and IES files. Heat transfer The light emitting diodes life and output are dependent on the LED chip functioning at the correct temperature. PRO S operates at the low running current of 350ma, this ensures the LED chip is not overstressed and will provide the best performance over its maximum working life. PRO S achieves high performance whilst only consuming 1 watt of power. Current LED chips provide 50% efficiency at best, meaning that for every watt consumed half of that is transformed into heat. Our low power, high efficiency PRO S produces ½ watt of heat which it distributes through the dense mass of the machined metal body; this is cooled by radiation to the surrounding atmosphere through its relatively large exposed surface or into the metal handrail with Illumine. Tuning Performance Illumine Illumine is a simple projector which is screwed into a pre-threaded hole in the handrail. It is cost effective and easy to retro-fit to existing installations with our Drill & Tap Jig. Because of its method of fixing the beam is directed parallel with the body, to achieve maximum throw across a surface, the handrail has to be rotated at installation (or drilled and tapped at the optimum angle with our Jig). The amount of rotation is dependent on the area the illumination has to cover and the intensity required. RAILled Asymmetric If you do not wish to rotate the handrail we have designed RAILled. This features a different type of mounting that allows for the product to be sited at the bottom of the handrail yet still project light asymmetrically across a surface. This is achieved by machining the body to site the projector at a rotated angle, up to 45 degrees. RAILled 2D Asymmetric We have further developed RAILled to offer the ultimate in performance and efficiency. Each RAILled 2D body is machined in 2 planes to provide projection across and along a surface. We can provide a number of optimised off the shelf solutions or custom made where the vertical and horizontal rotation are calculated from a photometric computer simulation of the installation. The result is just the right amount of light, exactly where it is needed; reducing RAILled quantities, installation time and energy. Custom design If you need something different our custom manufacturing and design service will provide bespoke products quickly and cost effectively

Making the right connection Illumine & RAILled can be connected as CONSTANT CURRENT or CONSTANT VOLTAGE circuits CONSTANT CURRENT The easiest circuit, simply connect handrail lighting as below.

5M spacings voltage = 180Volts CONSTANT VOLTAGE A more expensive option with more connections but the voltage remains a constant 24V.

9 Making the right connection Illumine & RAILled can be connected as CONSTANT CURRENT or CONSTANT VOLTAGE circuits CONSTANT CURRENT The easiest circuit, simply connect handrail lighting as below. The current remains at 350ma but the voltage increases by 3V per light connected, this means on long handrail lengths the potential voltage can be very high. Example: 30M handrail / 0.5M spacings voltage = 180Volts CONSTANT VOLTAGE A more expensive option with more connections but the voltage remains a constant 24V. Recommended for commercial installations especially with emergency lighting requirements In the event of a single lamp failure the constant voltage circuit is less likely to cause all of the lamps to be extinguished INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS VARY.
