ApplicationANSI and ADA compliant, luxrail is an indoor/outdoor LED-based handrail that delivers functional illumination. Two intensities may be specified: standard output and high output. The standard light output version delivers illuminance levels appropriate for exterior applications (2 footcandles at grade) as well as for dark interior environments with low ambient illumination levels (e.g., themed environments, theatres and residential areas). The high output version delivers illuminance levels applicable to interior environments – providing in excess of 10 footcandles along the path of egress (ANSI required for stair treads). Independent photometric test reports and IES Format data are available at www.iolighting.com.

luxrail’s standard handrail gripping surfaces are circular in cross section and meet 2004 ADAAG (Americans with Disability Act Accessibility Guidelines). Patented optical assemblies deliver 10˚, 45˚ and 65˚ beam spreads. The 45˚ and 65˚ beam patterns are most suitable for illuminating pathways, while the 10˚ beam spread offers accent lighting for optional glass or stainless steel cable railing infills. Reference page 44 of this catalog for information regarding infill options. io ensures that each LED is provided thermal and electrical management properties in accordance with the LED manufacturers recommendations. Projected average rated life is 50,000 hours at 70% of lamp lumen output. Contact factory for IES LM-80 compliance. To ensure proper performance, architectural details should allow for ventilation and air flow around the fixture. Ambient temperature surrounding the fixture shall not exceed 120˚F (48.9˚C).

Light OutputTwo luminous intensities are available for white light. All values below are initial lumens per foot. IES LM-79 format files may be obtained from the factory or downloaded from www.iolighting.com.

Constructionluxrail may be post mounted or wall mounted. Mounting hardware (post or wall) is typically required up to 5' O.C., depending on the handrail alloy. Final post and wall bracket spacing must be determined by a licensed architect or structural engineer. io can provide engineering upon request. luxrail is available in stainless steel and aluminum. grab bars are available in aluminum only. The lighting fixture component of the luxrail is a stand alone unit and is available in incremental nominal lengths that range from 6" to 60". Vandal resistant access chamber allows units to be removed for maintenance purposes.

All handrail component parts are engineered for quick installation. Field welding or cutting is typically not required. All parts are prefabricated to field dimensions and are assembled in the field with mechanical connection or epoxy. Contact io Lighting for recommended handrail installers. The light fixture’s housing is made of a light weight, yet durable aluminum, providing the recommended heat sink requirements for the LEDs. Housing, patented optical assembly and stainless steel end caps are bonded to prevent water infiltration.

Electricalluxrail houses a low voltage LED-based light fixture that is integrated into the underside of the handrail. 24 volt 96 watt power supplies are provided as a standard. For detailed information regarding daisy chain limitations, remote distance limitations, power supply options, and dimming options consult the io website, the io catalog (pages 98-100) or an io representative.

Dimming modules must be specified separately. For detailed information, see page 98 of this brochure or download the power supply specification sheet from www.iolighting.com.

Transition Sleeve

luxrail integrates a low voltage LED-based linear light fixture within the handrail. luxrail requires a power supply to transform and regulate the voltage. This power supply is called a “driver.”

The luxrail requires that the 24v driver be remotely located. The driver must be housed in an enclosure that is rated for use in both interior and exterior applications. luxrail utilizes a compact electronic driver which is protected against open circuit, short circuit, overload and overheating conditions. It is UL recognized and FCC compliant.

Electrical

When a handrail is installed on ramps, stairs or landings 30" above finished floor – it is referred to as a “guardrail.” Handrails provide guidance, while guardrails prevent accidental falls. Guardrails have opening limitations. The most common requirement is that no opening be large enough to allow a4" sphere to pass. luxrail has two infill options to address this requirement: stainless steel cable and glass. Stainless steel cable and all required hardware are supplied with system. For glass infill option, panel clips are supplied with system; glass is supplied by others.

GLASS INFILL

Panel clips are used to support 1⁄4" or 1⁄2" tempered glass infill panels. Glass is provided by others.

STAINLESS STEEL CABLE INFILL

Stainless steel cable railing system integrates all cable hardware inside the end posts, making it virtually invisible. The cable railing system may only be usedwith the stainless steel railing frame. Stainless steel railing hardware can be factory swaged or field swaged by the installer. Cable infill is only available for flat surfaces.

Sustainability io Recommends Aluminum

ANSI Compliant Illumination Levels Handrails and GuardrailsHANDRAILS PROvIDE GUIDANCE

Handrails are located between 34" and 38" above stair nosings or ramp surfaces and have dimensional limitations for graspability. In areas where children are the principal users (e.g., elementary schools), the ADAAG recommends a second set of handrails be located at 28" above stair nosings or ramp surfaces.

Reference: IBC 2000, ANSI A117.1, ADAAG

GUARDRAILS PREvENT ACCIDENTAL FALLS

Guardrails are generally required for ramps, stairs or landings above 30". The height will vary depending on local code. The IBC requires a guardrail to be 42" in height. If a 42" guardrail is called for on a stair or ramp, it will require a handrail at a height of between 34" and 38". The IRC requires 36" high guardrails for porches, balconies and raised floor surfaces. A guard’s top rail does not have to meet the requirements for graspability if a handrail is in place.


GREEN

Aluminum is one of the most sustainable materials on earth. Making up 8% of the Earth’s crust, Aluminum is one of the most plentiful elements and most preferred building material because it can be indefinitely recycled without loss of properties or quality.

DURABLE

Aluminum generates a protective oxide coating which makes it naturally corrosion resistant, weather proof and immune to harmful effects of UV rays. Requiring little to no maintenance, Aluminum does not absorb moisture and is saltwater resistant. It will not rust, rot, swell, warp, twist, split or crack.

ROBUST

Aluminum is about one-third the weight of steel yet its tensile strength is perfect for handrails, curtain walls, window frames, wall framing systems and solar shading.

LEED

Although recycled material percentages constantly change, approximately 25% of io’s aluminum handrail comes from recycled pre-consumer aluminum.

FINISH

Aluminum can be anodized or painted in any color. Some surface finishes can offer increased durability and corrosion resistance. Consult io Lighting for details.

luxrail crosses into two separate sections of the architectural specification – both as handrail which is listed in the “Miscellaneous Metals” section and as lighting which is listed in the “Electrical” section. As such, it requires two different trades for installation: an experienced handrail installer and a licensed electrician. It is important that contractors understand that luxrail must be bid on and installed by two separate trades to ensure accurate labor estimates. On some projects, architects have created an entirely new and separate section of the specification package for luxrail, spelling out exactly how the bidding and installation need to be handled.

When requesting a quote for luxrail, fully dimensioned plan and elevation drawings of each individual railing section are required. Stair and ramp elevations can be found in the Architectural details. Exterior railing locations and elevations are usually shown in the Landscape plans and details. The elevations illustrate the required style, size and features of each railing. The plan views show the location, length and quantity of rails needed. The lighting fixture schedule should also be provided as it lists the desired light output, color and distribution. From these project specific details a customized quotation is created.

After an order is placed, detailed submittal drawings are prepared and sent to the customer for approval. The submittals must be reviewed for compliance with site conditions, conformance with lighting specification and fulfillment of the electrical power requirements. This may require review by several parties.

The lead-time on luxrail fixtures begins once the signed approval drawings have been returned. Once approved, luxrail is custom fabricated to the exact project details and specifications as illustrated in the approvals.

Submittals should be reviewed with three objectives in mind:1. The handrail drawings must be reviewed for compliance to site conditions. Finished stair and ramp dimensions usually vary from the architectural plans. For this reason, actual field dimensions must be used when reviewing the submittals. This portion of the review is typically done by the handrail installer. Contact io Lighting for approved luxrail installers.

2. The LED fixture counts and run lengths must be reviewed to verify that adequate power is provided to each railing and that all remote driver restrictions have been met. This portion of the review is typically done by the electrical contractor.

3. The luxrail catalog code must be reviewed for compliance to the lighting specifications. The light output, beam spread and distribution should be verified. This portion of the review is typically done by the lighting designer.

io has a dedicated team for luxrail projects. Let us help you from design through installation.
