Abstract
An illumination system for an escalator handrail has a rechargeable power source and a light source. The rechargeable power source is recharged by a charging circuit which receives power from one or more magnetically coupled charging stations. The light source emits light into an optic fiber or another light carrying and dispersing element. The optic fiber is selected to disperse light from its sides and thereby appears to be illuminated.
