Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a glass top cap with integrated LEDs?

Yes. We offer a glass top cap that includes integrated LED lighting.

Our LED lighting is positioned on one side of the railing so that the light shines down from the handrail — not through the glass. Why? With other top caps, the lighting shines down through the glass, creating a blue or green glow, whatever the color of the glass is. Our white light is unaffected by the glass and remains whatever temperature you set it at.

Is Motion Detection Possible With LEDs?

We don’t offer motion detection, as we recommend consistent lighting for safety — especially in walkable areas near railing or stair systems.

For LED Treads - What voltage is required?

110V at either the top or bottom of the stringer. The provided 110V to 24V converter will be hidden inside the stringer.

Are the lights 12v, 24v, 110v or something else?

The lights are 24V, but require 110v power entering the stringer, with a conduit to protect against the steel. We will follow up with the exact location and lead length.

Is it best to have the power source at the top or bottom of the stairs?

It depends how tall your header is, and where the header plate lands. If the header is less than 15” tall, it could be at risk of exposed wires. Usually, the bottom looks cleaner. If it’s a switchback or U system, power can enter the stringer at the platform wall.

Do I need an electrician for installation?

Yes. Viewrail always recommends the final installation be done by a licensed electrician.
