Engineered to achieve maximum photometrical output and structural durability under global conditions.
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is recognized globally as one of the most developed and innovative outdoor luminaires and structural pole manufacturers in Ningbo, China. Established in 2003 and holding over two decades of technical expertise, our manufacturing complex occupies a 10,000㎡ industrial area. Operating with more than 100 highly specialized technicians, engineers, and quality assurance personnel, we specialize in high-efficacy LED street lighting and architectural outdoor garden luminaires. Our annual production capacity exceeds 150,000 sets, which are 100% exported to our commercial network spanning across 55 countries and regions.
Our collaborative philosophy merges classical European aesthetics with precision optical engineering. By cooperating directly with Italian lighting designers, we maintain an updated consciousness of industry visual trends and design compliance. We support municipal, commercial, and industrial buyers worldwide, helping them scale up project value via OEM/ODM configuration options. Backed by testing laboratories containing photoelectricity integrating systems, electric current testing, salt spray, EMC, and LED driver-load aging machines, Austar luminaires meet the industry's most rigorous quality benchmarks.
Exploring the transition of municipal lighting from high-pressure sodium to smart, grid-integrated LED solutions.
Future-proof public lighting relies on Central Management Systems (CMS). By implementing standardization like the Zhaga Book 18 and NEMA 7-pin interfaces, modern street lights host smart nodes for ambient light detection, motion detection, and cellular connectivity (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT). Dimming profiles (DALI-2, 0-10V) reduce operational energy overheads by adjusting outputs based on traffic density and astronomical clocks.
Optical arrays control the spatial distribution of luminous flux to limit spill light. Our custom designs utilize non-imaging optical lenses (PMMA or PC) configured for Type I, Type II, Type III, or Type V roadway lighting profiles. Our target is maximizing horizontal and vertical illuminance uniformity, minimizing the threshold increment (glare index TI < 10%), and ensuring Dark Sky Compliance (0% upward light output).
LED lifespan (L70/L80/L90 measurements) correlates with the junction temperature of the LED chips. To address this, Austar utilizes high-grade die-cast aluminum housings designed with aerodynamic heat dissipation fins. This guarantees junction temperatures remain below 75°C under ambient environments up to 50°C, ensuring the driver and LED matrix last for more than 50,000 to 100,000 maintenance-free hours.
A B2B Strategic Insight: When selecting street lamps, procurement officers must look beyond initial acquisition costs. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculated over a 10-year projection reveals that choosing products with high luminaire efficacy (e.g., >150 lm/W) and a failure rate below 0.2% per year reduces municipal power consumption by up to 65% and reduces ongoing labor overheads by 80% compared to traditional metal-halide lamps.
Tailoring lighting profiles for distinct urban zoning, safety frameworks, and architectural criteria.
High-speed zones necessitate elevated luminance levels (typically M1 or M2 classes under EN13201). High-power LED street lamps with precise optical packages ensure drivers maintain visibility distances above safety thresholds, limiting wet-road reflections and minimizing contrast-induced eye fatigue.
Intersections represent vehicular and pedestrian conflict zones. Integrated optical distributions provide intense, uniform lighting to prioritize crosswalk safety, while decorative post-top luminaires support municipal branding along retail avenues.
Historical sites require visual alignment. Our Classical Street Lighting and Villa series feature traditional cast aesthetics paired with modern LED engines. They provide warm color temperatures (2200K - 3000K) to complement heritage architectures while maintaining low energy footprints.
How vertical integration and automated manufacturing lines mitigate cost fluctuations and guarantee quality.
Austar’s manufacturing capabilities are built on direct control of critical production phases. Over 10,000㎡ of factory floor houses heavy die-casting machinery, including 1000T, 700T, and 300T cold-chamber die-casting machines. This in-house metalworking capability allows our engineers to cast aluminum alloy bodies with high precision, maintaining structural density to prevent internal void defects that degrade outdoor IP weather ratings and mechanical load ratings (IK impact resistance).
Once cast, housings pass through a fully automated electrostatic powder spray line, offering uniform coverage that prevents oxidation in coastal or high-salinity industrial zones. Assembly is finalized across 3 continuous manual and semi-automated assembly lines, followed by a mandatory run-through of our 2 LED driver-load aging testing lines. Each luminaire experiences prolonged thermal and electric load states to isolate pre-shipment component failures.

Seamless custom integration, engineering support, and rapid distribution channels for B2B distributors.
Global project delivery demands compliance with distinct standards. Austar products are fully certified under ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD structures, verifying they meet the strict electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and electrical safety norms required by European markets. Our manufacturing plants operate strictly under the ISO9001-14000 quality and environmental management guidelines.
We provide full-service mold design and prototyping. Operating with an internal R&D team of 10 technicians and 5 senior engineers, we take custom concepts from CAD layouts to production-ready molds within 30 days. We supply DIALux simulation files (IES/LDT files) to help planners optimize layout distances prior to construction bidding.
Located in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, our facility is adjacent to the Ningbo Port—one of the largest deep-water cargo shipping centers globally. This provides freight access for global FCL/LCL orders. We establish flexible commercial terms (FOB, CIF, CNF) and support payments via telegraphic transfer (T/T) and letters of credit (L/C).
