Industry’s first true 1.5” outer diameter rail is ADA compliant and offers asymmetric reflector option

Anaheim, CA, April 9, 2014 – Intense Lighting, Inc. (www.IntenseLighting.com), a manufacturer of LED specifications grade lighting solutions, has announced the release and immediate availability of its V- RAIL IVR15 LED lighted handrail system. Already recognized in the 2013 Next Generation Luminaires™ (NGL) Outdoor Awards, the system is compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and has been designed to illuminate stairways, ramps and walkways while also acting as a handrail or guardrail.

The V-RAIL IVR15 is a sleek, high performance system that consumes 45% less energy than comparable products while delivering up to 10 foot candles - more than double the average. It features a closely packed array of LEDs that provide a smooth, continuous flow of light in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K CCT.

A unique 3-part IDA-approved optical system allows for precision symmetrical or asymmetrical light distribution. The asymmetric reflector option offers increased lighting efficiency for end or wall mount versions, delivering light exactly where intended and not wasting it against the mounting surface. The optical system includes a small 90° aperture, which maximizes glare control and cut-off.

The V-RAIL IVR15 is available as a hand rail or guard rail, and has wall, post or embedded mount options. It is constructed with a heavy duty aluminum alloy internal rail and a 304 stainless steel external jacket, and has an access door for easy replacement of boards and optics in the field.

“V-RAIL IVR15 is the first illuminated hand rail to provide a true 1.5 inch outer diameter, and its unique reflector offers a great deal of flexibility to lighting designers,” says Kenny Eidsvold, President of Intense Lighting. “The system combines form and function with a slim contemporary aesthetic and high quality, energy efficient light.”

The V-RAIL IVR15 has a 50,000 hour lifetime at 70% output and is backed by a 5-year Intense LED Limited Warranty. V-RAIL IVR15 LED lighted handrail system feature summary:
