The Richie Rail 20 illuminated handrail system was the ideal product for the subway at Naenae Train Station in Lower Hutt, Wellington which was redeveloped in 2023. With its IP65 rated LED strip and 316 marine-grade stainless steel construction, the illuminated handrails provide a beautiful light effect, and also enable safer use of the subway, ramps and stairs.

Richie Rail 20 is a unique illuminated handrail system with a diameter of 42.4mm. Hollow wall brackets conceal the power supply to the LED strip, and the low voltage input makes the handrail safe to touch. The innovative sliding wall brackets allow minimal power feeds to the LED strip for simple installation. Richie Rail 20 is suitable for use on residential and commercial stairs and thoroughfares including accessible routes and exterior urban spaces, and can be supplied as a “plug-and-play” modular system, or as a seamless, fully welded system.
