Glowrail™ - LED Handrail

Glowrail™ is The Light Lab’s illuminated handrail system, combining precision-engineered metalwork with seamlessly integrated LED illumination to provide continuous, low-glare lighting for staircases, walkways and architectural environments.

Manufactured in-house and tailored to suit the specific requirements of each project, Glowrail™ can be fabricated in straight, curved, angular, helical and complex multi-axis forms, delivering both functional illumination and refined architectural integration. Designed around a proven engineering platform, the system offers the flexibility of bespoke manufacture with the reliability, durability and serviceability required for long-term architectural applications.

Glowrail™ is manufactured in stainless steel as standard and is also available in a range of specialist architectural finishes, including powder-coated, metallic, timber and leather-clad options. The system can be specified via the NBS Source platform for straightforward integration into project specifications.
