1. Introduction
1.1 What is the liniLED® Handrail?
The liniLED® Handrail is a revolutionairy LED based handrail system that provides continuous functional lighting
for a safe indoor and outdoor environment. The liniLED® Handrail can be wall mounted or post mounted. By
integrating the liniLED® Top LED strips (24 V DC) in the stainless steel liniLED® Handrail, the product is ideal for
high-end indoor and outdoor projects in various sectors, such as: architecture, infrastructure, construction, health
and the entertainment industry. The liniLED® Handrail has the same light benets as a LED xture: energy ecient
with an expected lifetime of more than 50.000 hours.
This original installation manual contains important information and is meant for the certied (handrail)
installer of the liniLED® Handrail. For the latest manual visit the website: www.organiclighting.com.

4. Installation
Danger! Turn o the power before starting the installation!
This chapter is described in the correct installation order: we advise you to follow this order.
4.1 What do I have to prepare for the installation?
1Check if the power supplies are in the correct positions
and if there are enough power supplies.
Correct positions power supplies:
Deco: connector every 66 ft.
Power: connector every 33 ft.
HP: connector every 33 ft.
Note!
All electricity points should supply 24 V DC.
2During the placement of long lengths, take into account the
expansion joints of the constructions, buildings or surface on
which or against the liniLED® Handrail is mounted.
Determine whether there are expansion joints in the wall
or oor. The handrail needs to end at an expansion joint,
to prevent any pressure on the liniLED® LED strip and
possible damage.
See chapter 4.2.3 Expansion joint for more information.
3Cut the stainless steel handrail in the correct length.

Connecting 3 or more handrails?
If you have intermediate handrails.
Go to step 4.
In case you don´t need to connect intermediate
handrails, or if the rails are supplied with the prole pre-
installed, you can skip step 4; But read it to understand
the system.
Go to paragraph 4.2.
4To be able to place the supports in the prole, a space is
needed in the intermediate handrail liniLED® mounting
prole.
Note!
Because 1 3/4” of the aluminum prole is missing in
this position, it is not possible to mount a support
where the gap occurs.
A. Determine where the gap will not interfere with a
support before cutting and installing the self-adhesive
backed prole in the rail.

B. Cut a piece of 1 3/4”+/- 1/16” of the disassembled
aluminum prole.
This step is essential to create space to place the clamp of
the stainless steel adapter.

4.2 Connecting the handrails
The handrails can be connected in two ways, by gluing or by welding.
4.2.1 Gluing
1Degrease the contact surfaces (A). Apply the glue on the
contact surface (A) of the coupler.
2Place the coupler in the stainless steel handrail, which
you would like to extend.
3Slide the second handrail on the other side of the
coupler.
Are there expansion joints present?
Yes Go to paragraph 4.2.3.
No Go to chapter 4.3.
4.2.2 Welding
1Place the coupler in the stainless steel handrail, which
you would like to extend.
2Slide the second handrail on the other side of the
coupler. Weld the parts together.
Are there expansion joints present?
Yes Go to paragraph 4.2.3.
No Go to chapter 4.3.

Temperature inuences
In case of large temperature uctuations, expansion and retraction of the LED strip and lens should be taken
into account. The expansion and contraction of the lens in the longitudinal direction of at least 1/4” at a
length of up to 5’. Provide a clearance of 1/8” on both sides so this can be absorbed.
4.2.3 Expansion joint
To prevent possible pressure and damage on the liniLED® Top LED strip, the handrail needs to end at an expansion
joint. The handrail can end with a coupler (step 1 and 2) or with end caps (step 3).
For more information about placing/interrupting the LED strip, see chapter 4.3.
1Apply the glue on one side of the coupler.
Place the coupler between the two handrails.
2Make sure there is enough space between the
handrail and the coupler, to deal with possible
expansion and shrink by change in temperature of
the construction.
3Place the end caps in the ends of the handrails.

4.3 Placing the liniLED® Top LED strips
There are several methods to place the liniLED® Top LED strips. Which method you should choose, depends on the
environment (indoor or outdoor) and whether the handrails are glued or welded. In the following chapters four
methodes are described.
4.3.1 Method 1: Indoor and gluing
Follow the steps below if the handrails need to be glued and the liniLED® Handrail will be installed indoor.
1Gently insert the connector in the hollow chamber of the
liniLED® Top LED strip.
Note!
The arrow on the connector needs to be placed in the
same direction as the arrow on the liniLED® Top LED strip.
2Gently push the liniLED® Top LED strip into the aluminum
prole.
Start from the position where you placed the connector.
Note!
Maximum connection length of the liniLED® Top LED
strips:
Deco: 66’

3Determine where to cut the liniLED® Top LED strip. This
needs to be as close as possible before the end of the
adapter or the end of the handrail.
The liniLED® Top LED strip cannot be cut at any position,
but only at the specic cutting points.
See image on the right for the correct cutting sections
per type of liniLED® Top LED strip (see image).

4.3.3 Method 3: Outdoor and gluing
Follow the steps below if the handrails need to be glued and the liniLED® Handrail will be installed outdoor.
For this step you will need two IP65 connector sets which contain a waterproof gel.
1Before placing the liniLED® LED strip in the IP65
connector set, you rst need to remove the dams (A)
from the bottom and top of the IP65 connector set. Use
a sharp knife and cut the sides.

until you hear a‘click’. This may require adjustable
jaw pliers to exert the pressure. Take care not to
damage the plastic housing at all. (Do not remove
excess gel.)
5Before you can place the liniLED® Top LED strip, the
aluminum prole needs to be cut rst to leave a 2 5/8”
space for the connector.
If pre-installed prole is in the rail, there will be a 2 5/8”
gap, with a special connector prole already installed.
(If eld cutting rail, do not cut at this end.)
6Cut 2 5/8”o the beginning of the aluminum
mounting prole.
In case you want to add a wall support or
ballusteradapter afterwards, execute the same
steps as for an intermediate handrail.
