The IP66 rating represents a system that is completely dust-tight (6) and protected against powerful water jets (6) from any direction. For outdoor area lights, this is achieved through high-precision die-cast structures, premium silicone gaskets, and advanced sealing systems. This prevents moisture ingress, which can lead to optical clouding and driver failures.
Proper heat dissipation is critical for the lifespan of high-power LED area lights. Our architectural structures feature specialized air-convection designs using die-cast aluminum alloys (ADC12). This helps maintain junction temperatures below 75°C, ensuring a nominal lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours (L90B10).
Modern area lighting goes beyond raw lumens to focus on light placement. Through precision-engineered PMMA lenses, our luminaires deliver Type II, III, IV, and V light distributions. This optimizes spacing, minimizes glare, and prevents sky glow, meeting the requirements of international DarkSky regulations.
Ningbo is a recognized global hub for high-performance outdoor lighting manufacturing. Choosing a Ningbo-based manufacturer like Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. offers access to a complete localized supply chain, ranging from raw die-cast aluminum sourcing to advanced electrostatic surface treatments.
Our facility covers a 10,000㎡ production area and operates specialized die-casting machinery with capacities of 1000T, 700T, and 300T. This enables in-house production of structural components, maintaining strict control over mechanical tolerances. We operate three automated assembly lines, a comprehensive electrostatic powder spraying line, and dedicated LED aging systems. Our proximity to the Ningbo Port facilitates efficient ocean transport, helping to keep shipping timelines and logistics costs competitive.
Additionally, our in-house engineering and R&D teams specialize in custom development. Working with advanced 3D modeling and photometric planning software, we can develop custom designs and create working tooling molds within a 30-day development cycle.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. specializes in the design and production of LED street lighting and outdoor garden lighting. Through collaboration with Italian lighting designers, we work to balance modern aesthetics with reliable thermal and optical engineering.
To support product reliability, we use advanced testing equipment in our quality control processes, including photoelectricity integrating systems, electrical current testing instruments, salt spray testers, EMC testing facilities, and dedicated LED driver-load aging systems. All products have obtained ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications. Our Quality Control team operates under an ISO9001-14000 system to monitor consistency across our product lines.
We supply a variety of outdoor lighting options designed for different municipal and commercial applications:
Modern outdoor lighting systems increasingly function as connected urban infrastructure. We integrate standard NEMA 7-pin and Zhaga Book 18 interfaces into our street and area lights, enabling compatibility with smart nodes and Central Management Systems (CMS) for automated scheduling, diagnostic feedback, and utility metering.
With global energy conservation initiatives, our designs focus on maximizing lumens-per-watt (lm/W). By combining high-grade LED chips with stable drivers, our systems deliver up to 160 lm/W. This reduces overall energy consumption while maintaining required illumination levels for public safety.
Our area lights are designed with modularity in mind. Key components, such as drivers and LED engines, can be accessed and replaced without specialized tooling. This support-friendly design extends the service life of the housing, reducing material waste and lowering lifecycle maintenance costs.

We invite global clients, engineers, and municipal procurement teams to visit our facility in Ningbo, China. This offers an opportunity to inspect our manufacturing processes and test labs in person.
We maintain a responsive communications desk. For all global business inquiries and RFP documents, we reply within 12 hours on workdays.
We operate both a dedicated luminaire factory and a specialized pole manufacturing facility. This combined capability allows us to offer complete pole-and-head packages. We maintain direct import/export rights and distribute our products globally.
Our core production lines cover outdoor LED street lights, architectural garden lamps, high-performance plant grow lights, commercial pole assemblies, wall-mounted exterior luminaires, and decorative street/park luminaires.
Our fixtures are engineered for public and commercial spaces, including municipal streets, bridges, urban parks, industrial facilities, warehouses, shipping docks, and commercial plazas.
Yes, we provide engineering support for custom requests. We can design and manufacture structural housings, optics, and mounting configurations based on customer drawings, CAD designs, or physical samples.
Our 10,000㎡ factory operates three production lines, an automated powder coating line, and two LED aging lines. Supported by our die-casting machinery, our annual output is approximately 150,000 lighting sets.
We maintain an ISO9001-14001 certified management system. We conduct quality checks at key stages of production, along with a final inspection process. Our testing lab includes spectrum analyzers, a darkroom for photometric testing, waterproof testing chambers, mechanical shock testers, and thermal environment chambers.
We employ approximately 100 people at our facility, including 10 experienced technicians and 5 senior lighting design and mechanical engineers.
We offer pricing under FOB, CIF, or CNF terms. For mass production orders, our standard terms are a 30% deposit with the balance payable upon presentation of the Bill of Lading (B/L). We accept payment via T/T and L/C.
We generally ship by sea container, using our proximity to the Port of Ningbo. For urgent requirements or sample deliveries, we can coordinate air freight via Ningbo or Shanghai airports.
Our lighting systems are exported to 55 countries, with primary distribution in the United States, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Australia, and Canada.
Our design team collaborates with Italian industrial designers. This partnership helps us incorporate modern European styling with functional thermal and structural engineering.
We can complete the CAD/3D modeling, optical simulations, and initial physical prototyping for a new fixture design within one month.
We are situated near Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port, and have convenient access to Ningbo and Hangzhou international airports.
These models highlight our capabilities in urban lighting design, combining classic aesthetics with modern performance.
