    Omnilumen: Artec Illuminated LED Handrail

    Artec LED Handrail places light exactly where required, complimenting architectural design without sacrificing safety and efficiency. The linear LED Handrail solution delivers functional illumination suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Cool to the touch, safe low voltage and providing consistent colour temperature.
