Klik Systems has announced that their award-winning LEDPOD will be exclusively available in the USA through their new official agents, R&B Wagner.

The family owned handrail manufacturers now have sole distribution rights to LEDPOD in the USA, and are already underway with a very large project involving the ingenious luminaire; about 10 hours drive from their base in Milwaukee.

Klik Systems have been supplying bespoke linear lights to architects and designers for over 25 years. Their LEDs for ‘Luminous’ at Darling Quarter Sydney – billed as the world’s largest digital art façade covering 557 windows – grabbed headlines around the world earlier this year. Based outside Sydney in Eastern Creek, with international agents across the globe, Klik Systems were also involved with SPARC lighting design, part of the VIVID Sydney 2012 festival.

“We’re tremendously pleased to be working with Wagner,” said Klik’s marketing manager, Cliff Hadley. “They’re a terrific presence in the USA market and we’re looking forward to a long and fruitful collaboration.”

Klik System’s LEDPOD won Australian Luminaire Design Award for Excellence 2011. This ingenious ‘snap-in’ LED is designed for handrails of any size, and focuses light downwards on stairs and paths.

The LEDPOD fixture fits flush into handrails of any size, and has a sleek contemporary aesthetic. The LED’s asymmetrical optical system (patent pending) was designed using Photopia software and totally eliminates glare. A specially designed heat sink solved the problem of heat on the glass lens and handrail - which does not exceed 35 degrees.
