In modern B2B road illumination procurement, the LED street light housing stands as far more than a simple cosmetic shell. It functions as the critical structural backbone of the luminaire, directly dictating its longevity, thermal efficiency, photometrical performance, and resilience against environmental degradation. For municipal engineers, infrastructure investors, and luminaire distributors, sourcing street light casings from certified manufacturers isn't just an option—it is a critical compliance checkpoint.
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has established itself at the forefront of die-cast luminaire housing innovations. By combining heavy manufacturing capability in Ningbo, China with sophisticated structural designs influenced by prominent Italian designers, we consistently bridge the gap between architectural aesthetic and high-performance durability. Our processes utilize heavy machinery, state-of-the-art thermal modeling, and strict quality control measures to fulfill global commercial needs.
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is one of the most developed manufacturers in Ningbo, China. Established in 2003, occupying a 10,000㎡ production area, and operating with a dedicated team of more than 100 employees, Austar specializes in producing high-grade LED Street lighting and robust outdoor garden lighting solutions.
Cooperating with leading Italian lighting designers, we maintain an innovative mindset. The global market reach for our high-pressure die-cast outdoor housings has expanded to 55 countries & regions. To guarantee that our products meet strict quality parameters, our facilities deploy photoelectric integrating systems, electric current testers, salt spray testing chambers, EMC facilities, and automated LED driver aging lines.
Our complete production range adheres strictly to international compliance guidelines, carrying certifications including ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD. Guided by the ISO9001-14000 quality management framework, we welcome direct OEM and ODM custom specifications.
Our product portfolio covers diverse urban design options for modern municipalities:
The core of our street light casing is molded from ADC12 aluminum alloy, a choice determined by its thermal characteristics and tensile strength. Under high pressure (using our 1000T, 700T, and 300T die casting systems), the molten alloy fills complex molds, eliminating internal voids. This produces structures capable of withstanding significant structural loads.
Poor thermal management is a leading cause of premature LED failure. Our housings feature optimized aerodynamic convection fins. These channels allow airflow across the luminaire surface, lowering the junction temperature of the LED modules to preserve their operational lifespan.
Austar housings employ continuous-pour silicone gaskets to seal the driver cavity and optical chamber. This ensures reliable performance in dust and water-laden environments (IP66). Furthermore, the structural thickness of the cast aluminum provides impact resistance ratings of IK08 or higher.
To resist coastal environment corrosion, each housing undergoes a multi-stage chemical pretreatment, followed by an electrostatic TGIC polyester powder coat paint process. Tested via our in-house salt spray facility, this treatment prevents paint peeling and blistering over decades of field service.

Through close coordination with our partners, we ensure our production matches global expectations. Watch our processes to learn how we manufacture housing products that stand up to the elements.
Our manufacturing plant is located in the Ningbo industrial zone, providing direct access to crucial raw material inputs and deep-water ports (Ningbo and Shanghai). This positioning offers competitive advantages for global B2B operations:
The continuous growth of public IoT technologies requires today's street light casings to accommodate future sensor and antenna additions. Austar's product lines provide options to incorporate standardized NEMA 7-pin or Zhaga Book 18 sockets on the upper casing surface, allowing easy installation of photocells, wireless gateways, and smart light nodes.
By preparing our structural designs for sensor integrations, we ensure that retrofitted luminaires can easily adopt smart city upgrades without requiring full casing replacement. Our Italian-designed, aerodynamic models combine visual elegance with space for future technological updates, meeting the modern demands of urban planners and municipalities.
