ᐅ Electrical Planning for Illuminated Handrail of Stair Railing

Hello everyone,

We are currently just before the second selection phase, which also includes the electrical planning. Since the stair builder will provide a handrail with a routed groove on the underside including a cable channel through the wall bracket, the question now is how to illuminate the handrail. A COB LED strip is planned. However, there is now the question regarding the necessary power supply to convert from 230V to 12V or 24V for the LED strips. This power supply needs to be installed somewhere. Are there any ideas or already implemented plans regarding this? From our perspective, a revision hatch in the wall for the power supply would be conceivable. However, this would mean that for the lighting you would need a switch box plus the revision hatch and an in-wall junction box with space for the power supply.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions on how to implement this!

Do you actually want to illuminate it, or do you feel forced to consider it because of the possibility?
If it’s the latter, I would skip it. It doesn’t replace the lighting that illuminates the steps themselves. Or does it? ????

Thank you for your response, ypg,

however, this is intended to replace the step lighting or, in the evenings when the “main” light is on, to create a pleasant (stylish) atmosphere. It is very important to us that this can be implemented as planned.

Hello,

There are COB LED strips designed for direct 230 V connection. Alternatively, you could prepare something in the adjacent room and just lay an empty conduit to the hallway.

If you want low voltage, you will need to hire an electrician to install a flush-mounted junction box of appropriate size.
