Discover our highly requested street and garden light fittings designed for global architectural restoration and high-performance commercial lighting.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has grown to become one of the premier developers and manufacturers of high-performance architectural outdoor luminaires and classic street poles in Ningbo, China. With a sprawling 10,000㎡ industrial footprint and a dedicated engineering workforce of over 100 specialists, we specialize in bridging historical design aesthetics with cutting-edge optical performance.
Our commitment to design innovation is driven by long-term collaborations with acclaimed Italian lighting designers, allowing us to maintain a portfolio that meets European styling benchmarks and global engineering requirements. We maintain a 100% export-oriented manufacturing flow, delivering superior decorative and functional lighting infrastructure to municipalities, electrical wholesalers, and distributors across 55 countries and regions.
How our localized industrial clusters and vertical integration translate into major cost and lead-time advantages for global enterprises.
Our facility houses high-tonnage 1000T, 700T, and 300T cold-chamber die-casting machines. By casting high-grade aluminum alloys internally, we maintain strict control over molecular density, eliminating defects, structural cracks, and voids common in third-party sourcing.
Situated in Ningbo, we are situated minutes from the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—one of the busiest logistics hubs globally. This direct access minimizes land transportation expenses, facilitates rapid container loading, and ensures direct ocean freight connections to major European and North American corridors.
Leveraging specialized CNC machining and precision tooling, our engineers develop bespoke molds and physical luminaires within 30 days. We operate a fully automated electrostatic powder-spray line for customized marine-grade finishings.
Operating a highly structured ecosystem in China allows Austar Lighting to source premium electronic components, including drivers from industry leaders such as Inventronics and MeanWell, alongside high-efficacy LEDs from Cree and Bridgelux, at localized pricing structures. This synthesis of high-end raw inputs and cost-optimized processing is why international municipalities select our factory for large-scale retrofitting projects.
Witness the production lines, testing laboratories, and assembly facilities where quality control conforms strictly to ISO9001-14000 standard configurations.
We align our manufacturing standards with regional utility regulations to ensure smooth approval processes and reliable field operations.
Navigating global compliance frameworks for municipal lighting projects requires deep product engineering knowledge. Austar Lighting’s R&D department ensures all our street and garden fixtures conform to ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications. These marks guarantee our designs meet stringent European standards for safety, thermal regulation, and electrical reliability.
To support local contractors and engineers, we provide detailed IES file packages and photometrical calculations in DIALux. This enables project designers to model illuminance levels, uniformity ratios, and light spill values before committing capital. Whether your region mandates low glare ratings (G-class compliance) or zero upward light output to prevent sky glow, we tailor the optic lenses to comply with dark-sky protection standards.
Furthermore, our materials testing laboratory ensures resilience under local environmental stressors. We run a continuous salt spray tester to guarantee our marine-grade epoxy powder coatings can withstand coastal saline atmospheres without peeling. We also utilize EMC testing facilities to confirm that our drivers do not emit electromagnetic interference or suffer vulnerability to grid voltage surges.
Our quality assurance process integrates dual-stage LED driver-load aging machines. Every single batch is tested under loaded stress scenarios for 24-48 hours. By simulating real-world voltage anomalies, we ensure that the built-in surge protection (up to 10kV/20kV options) performs consistently in the field, reducing post-installation maintenance expenses.
Modern procurement goes beyond standard lumen-per-watt values; municipal and corporate buyers now evaluate how street and park lighting integrates into larger smart-city ecosystems. At Austar Lighting, we anticipate this demand by engineering our classic and modern luminaires with standard NEMA and Zhaga bases.
This design allows cities to preserve their historical heritage architecture while preparing their infrastructure for smart photocells, motion sensors, and IoT wireless mesh nodes. The transition to dark-sky compliant warm CCTs (such as 2200K, 2700K, and 3000K options) ensures that local wildlife is protected, while high-efficiency asymmetric optics maximize foot-candle delivery on pathways and roads without spilling light into residential windows.
A curated selection of our flagship die-cast aluminum models widely chosen for European and Global heritage preservation zones.
