Explore our premium selection of structural pendant, catenary, and suspended street luminaires engineered to withstand heavy atmospheric conditions while rendering optimized light distributions.
Established in 2003 and based in Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has grown to become a benchmark manufacturer in the international outdoor and urban lighting sector. Operating a state-of-the-art 10,000 square meter production facility staffed by over 100 highly skilled personnel, we maintain a singular focus: engineering elite LED street lights, traditional urban luminaires, classical lighting, and hanging/catenary solutions designed for high-density modern installations.
By blending advanced photometric technologies with refined European design sensibilities through active collaboration with renowned Italian industrial designers, we ensure that every fixture we ship delivers superior optical efficiency, reduced light glare, and reliable thermal degradation patterns.
The global supply chain demands more than just cost-efficiency; it requires industrial cohesion, rigorous design adherence, and unparalleled lead-time predictability.
Our strategic placement in the Ningbo industrial zone connects us directly with aluminum casting foundries, copper component extruders, optical silicone injection facilities, and electronic chip distributors. This reduces transport delays and guarantees rapid prototype turnarounds within one month.
By leveraging dedicated high-capacity die-casting machinery (operating 1000T, 700T, and 300T pressure profiles), we produce high-density marine-grade aluminum structural enclosures. This ensures long-term resistance to mechanical impacts (IK09/IK10 rating) and eliminates atmospheric air pocket corrosion.
Every product batch is tested within our own testing lab. We utilize high-accuracy spectrum photometers, IP-rated water intrusion chambers, salt-spray chambers for seaside exposure simulation, and active thermal load aging racks to ensure 100% field reliability before shipping.
Modern municipalities require hanging lighting that interfaces with smart city frameworks. Austar's suspended luminaires are designed to integrate NEMA and Zhaga standard receptacles, enabling plug-and-play installation of photodetectors, motion sensors, and central management system (CMS) nodes.
By suspending fixtures via structural catenary wires, civil engineers can illuminate narrow pedestrian lanes, historical plazas, and dense urban corridors where ground-mounted posts are restricted. This approach minimizes visual noise, prevents structural disruptions to historic pavements, and places light exactly where required for safety and accessibility.
Furthermore, our optical lenses offer customized distribution patterns (Type I, II, III, and IV) to meet specific roadway classifications and minimize light pollution, ensuring compliance with strict environmental dark-sky ordinances worldwide.
A guide for municipal buyers, engineering consultants, and wholesalers evaluating hanging outdoor fixtures for large-scale infrastructure projects.
Ensure your supplier maintains valid ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications. Austar products undergo rigorous external audits, verifying compliance with EU electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and performance requirements.
Pendant lighting experiences concentrated rising thermal heat. Our designs employ multi-channel convection heat sinks integrated directly into the die-cast housing, maintaining LED junction temperatures below 65°C to preserve driver lifetime and luminous efficacy.
Suspended urban fixtures are continuously exposed to industrial acid rain and saline coastal air. Austar utilizes multi-stage chromate conversion pre-treatments followed by thermosetting electrostatic powder coatings, passing the 1000-hour salt spray test.
Step inside our 10,000㎡ industrial complex located in Ningbo, China. Discover how raw aluminum is transformed into high-performance urban illumination fixtures under ISO 9001-14000 quality standards.
How we guarantee on-time shipping and reduce import overheads for clients in the EU, Americas, and APAC regions.
Austar’s factory is situated close to the Port of Ningbo (one of the world's highest-throughput deep-water marine terminals) and within two hours of Shanghai. This layout facilitates direct container loading, minimizing land-transit risks and allowing us to offer competitive FOB, CIF, and CFR terms.
For urgent municipal retrofits or emergency procurement phases, we coordinate combined air-sea transit routes through Shanghai Pudong (PVG) and Ningbo Lishe (NGB) airports, ensuring delivery dates are met.
We work with established B2B payment methods to keep transactions secure and efficient. Our typical terms include a 30% deposit with the balance payable against B/L copies, and we also accept verified Letters of Credit (L/C) for municipal tenders.
Every shipment is accompanied by a full technical package, including compliance certifications, photometric files (.IES / .LDT format), and installation manuals to simplify the customs clearance process.
Our collaborative industrial design flow with Italian lighting design agencies allows us to transition from client concept sketches to functional, heat-tested prototypes within 30 business days.
Our quality management systems are audited annually. We ensure complete tracking of raw materials and eco-friendly waste management processes for sustainable production.
