Engineered for durability and visual harmony, these products represent the integration of aesthetics and advanced optical design.
The global urban landscape is undergoing a significant transition. Modern decorative luminaires are no longer merely functional tools to extend daylight hours; they are vital components of city branding, public safety, and energy conservation initiatives. Today, commercial and industrial demand for high-end exterior illumination is driven by two main factors: aesthetic integration and technical integration with Smart City frameworks.
From heritage districts in Europe seeking to maintain classical design authenticity (such as the historical "Fernandino" style) to modern financial centers requiring sleek, minimalistic lighting designs, suppliers must provide adaptable options. This combination of traditional visual appeal and high-efficiency LED engines requires advanced optical designs, flexible structural configurations, and reliable driver systems capable of lasting through decades of environmental exposure.
Combining Italian design concepts with China's advanced manufacturing capabilities to deliver global lighting solutions.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of architectural outdoor lighting based in the industrial hub of Ningbo, China. Operating from a modern 10,000 m² production facility, we employ over 100 skilled professionals, including 10 technicians and 5 engineers dedicated to research, development, and system configuration.
We specialize in manufacturing high-efficiency LED street lighting, decorative outdoor garden lighting, traditional urban fixtures, classical street lighting systems, bollards, and spotlights. Our annual production capacity exceeds 150,000 units. In collaboration with Italian lighting designers, we maintain product designs aligned with changing market needs, exporting 100% of our products to 55 countries and regions.
To ensure products meet demanding performance requirements, we operate a dedicated laboratory equipped with advanced photoelectricity integrating spheres, electric current testing systems, salt spray testing equipment, EMC test chambers, and automated LED driver-load aging systems. All products are certified to ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD standards, ensuring compliance with international regulations.
Strategic supply chain integration, automated production, and maritime logistical proximity.
Our factory integrates critical production steps under one roof. Equipped with 1000T, 700T, and 300T high-pressure die-casting machinery, we manufacture structural aluminum alloy housings with minimal porosity, ensuring reliable structural integrity, IK09 impact resistance, and effective thermal dissipation for high-power LED installations.
We operate a fully automated electrostatic powder-spray line alongside three manual and semi-automated assembly lines. This system applies corrosion-resistant finishes designed to withstand salt spray and harsh coastal weather conditions, meeting C4 and C5 anti-corrosion standards.
Located near Ningbo, our facility provides access to both Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port, two of the busiest logistics hubs in the world. This proximity reduces transport times and costs, allowing us to offer flexible shipping options, including sea freight and expedited air shipping via Hangzhou and Ningbo Airports.
