for lighting up handrails, youre going to need a few set of lights, 2-3 preferably, more if you can.  To light these up, a pretty decent generator is needed.  The best way to do this is to rent one for a few days from a construction equipment place.  The last time i rented one, i think it was 30,000 watts, and was like $35 a day to rent.

Try and pick up a second hand one that still runs fairly smooth, because you're not going to comsume that much power with 2-4 construction lights. Or as suggested rent one from a tool rental place for a few days.
You could always try and get a shit load of extension cord and plug it into a near by building (my plans for my nightime sessions)

How did everyone come to the conclusion that he was using them to light up a hand rail? Maybe he needs one for his house. I really don't have any advice, but I just had to put that out there.

what you do is go to a hardware store and buy the huge spot light flash lights. they are like 30 or so. then get some mirrors and cardboard and make a funnel around it. it works well for a cheap set up
