High-performance outdoor fixtures combining advanced optics with durable housing
Establishing Standards of Excellence in Ningbo, China since 2003
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. stands as an industry-leading manufacturer based in Ningbo, China. Established in 2003, we operate a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ production facility manned by over 100 dedicated technical and operations professionals.
Specializing in the structural design, optical engineering, and mass production of LED Street Lighting and Outdoor Garden Lighting solutions, we export 100% of our products worldwide. Partnering with elite Italian lighting designers, we maintain an evolving consciousness of modern urban design combined with practical functionality. Today, our distribution and deployment footprint spans 55 countries and regions worldwide.
To deliver products that align with strict municipal specifications and international quality expectations, we employ advanced quality assurance instrumentation. Our facilities house modern photoelectricity integrating spheres, electrical safety analyzers, salt spray chambers, automated EMC testing facilities, and dedicated load aging machinery. Every product series is strictly certified under ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD directives in compliance with our comprehensive ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 quality control systems.
Decoding the Technological and Compliance Trends Driving the Future of Municipal Street Lighting
Modern street lighting is no longer just about basic illumination. It serves as the foundation for the digital nervous system of the smart city. Today’s municipal engineers and urban planners look for structures equipped with standardized Zhaga or NEMA sockets that facilitate seamless plug-and-play installation of photodetectors, radar traffic sensors, and smart wireless controllers. Our LED street lighting systems are designed with smart-ready architectures, enabling remote dimming schedules, asset management, automated fault detection, and integration into Central Management Systems (CMS) via LoRaWAN, Cellular (NB-IoT), or mesh networks. This shift allows cities to achieve energy savings of up to 80% when combined with smart motion and ambient light detection.
In European and global industrial markets, compliance is key. The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark proves that our outdoor lighting fixtures conform to critical health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Within CE, our luminaires satisfy the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 2014/35/EU) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC 2014/30/EU), guaranteeing they operate safely without introducing electrical interference into the local grid.
Simultaneously, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance ensures our street lights are free from hazardous heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and cadmium) and toxic flame retardants. By designing lighting systems that are safe for both humans and the environment throughout their lifecycles, we align with the eco-design rules of a circular economy. This makes our fixtures highly appealing to institutional investors and public municipal bidders.
Operating reliability is highly dependent on effective heat management. LED street lights are subject to harsh environmental conditions: high summer temperatures, heavy downpours, freeze-thaw cycles, and continuous exposure to sunlight. Our high-pressure die-cast aluminum housings serve as optimized heat sinks, lowering junction temperatures to extend the life of both the LED chips and drivers beyond 50,000 to 100,000 hours. Furthermore, our multi-lens optical configurations provide customized Type I, II, III, and IV light distributions. This targets illumination directly onto road surfaces, minimizes glare for drivers, and prevents light pollution in nearby habitats.

Optimized Production Infrastructures Ensuring Quality Consistency and Rapid Global Dispatch
The foundation of high-durability municipal street fixtures rests on structural integrity. At our Ningbo facility, we operate heavy-duty 1000T, 700T, and 300T aluminum die-casting machines. This in-house capacity allows us to mold robust structures designed to withstand high winds and mechanical impacts.
By managing the die-casting process internally, we maintain tight control over alloy composition and structural wall thickness. This avoids the internal voids and structural weak points often found in outsourced die-cast components.
To protect structures from coastal air salinity and industrial smog, our fixtures pass through a automated powder coating line. The process involves pre-washing, zinc-phosphate conversion, and electrostatic dry-powder application, followed by thermal curing. This process creates a corrosion-resistant seal that passes intensive salt-spray testing, keeping our lights functional and visually clean over decades of operation.
Collaborating with top-tier Italian industrial lighting designers, we develop modern profiles and build precision molds in our dedicated tooling facility within 30 days.
We run full photo-electric test sequences using integrating spheres and goniophotometers to verify exact luminous efficacy and spatial light distribution charts.
All luminaire series undergo mechanical impact (IK class verification), high/low temperature tests, and high-pressure water jets to ensure IP66 seal integrity.
Adaptable Optics and Designs Suited for Diverse Environments Globally
Demanding high-lumen density, low glare index, and excellent thermal dissipation. Our LED street lights deliver stable, uniform illuminance on multi-lane highways, reducing driver fatigue and enhancing motorist safety.
Salty sea air accelerates corrosion. By utilizing marine-grade aluminum housing paired with specialized anti-corrosive powder treatments, our fixtures prevent salt degradation along coastlines.
Historic and recreational areas require warm, comfortable light that enhances local architecture. Our classical street lamp series blend historical aesthetics with energy-efficient LED engines and precise optical distributions.
