Explore our state-of-the-art classic lighting fixtures, featuring cast aluminum construction, exceptional thermal management, and dark-sky compliance.
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is recognized as one of the premier developers and manufacturers of outdoor architectural and municipal lighting in Ningbo, China. Established in 2003, our operation spans over 10,000 m² of state-of-the-art production area, employing more than 100 dedicated technical and support professionals. We specialize in the conceptualization, engineering, and mass production of high-performance LED street lighting, decorative outdoor garden lighting, and classical municipal fixtures.
By establishing long-term design partnerships with veteran Italian lighting designers, we blend classical European architectural legacy with cutting-edge optical innovations. This design ethos has propelled our global presence to cover more than 55 countries and regions, achieving a 100% export ratio. We ensure strict adherence to international quality expectations by leveraging deep industrial intelligence and deploying advanced quality assurance systems.
Our infrastructure supports complete end-to-end integration of light fixture manufacturing. Austar houses high-capacity 1000T, 700T, and 300T die-casting machinery, enabling us to handle aluminum enclosures of varying complexities with high dimensional precision. Our factory flow features a fully automated electrostatic powder-coating spray line, three high-efficiency assembly lines, and two specialized LED aging lines where every luminaire undergoes a rigorous multi-hour burn-in phase before packaging.
Our quality system is certified under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We utilize advanced photometrics and electrical test labs equipped with integrating spheres, goniophotometers, high/low temperature testing chambers, impact testing gear, salt spray chambers, and dedicated EMC test facilities. This infrastructure ensures every fixture stands up to extreme thermal ranges, salty marine coastlines, and mechanical stress.
Why leading global EPC contractors, municipal procurement agencies, and commercial developers choose Austar Lighting for historic and urban illumination.
We mitigate regulatory risk for public tenders. All Austar products carry reputable certifications including ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD. This assures compatibility with European, North American, and Asian power grid safety standards.
Our collaborative pipeline with seasoned Italian designers preserves historic, retro, and neo-classical luminaire designs. This allows historical town centers to meet light pollution guidelines while protecting architectural character.
Located in the industrial hub of Ningbo, China, we operate both dedicated luminaire casting structures and pole-manufacturing workshops. We design and create tooling molds internally, reducing prototyping cycles to just 30 days.
Procuring commercial street lighting requires managing mechanical tolerances, localized grid variances, and local environmental standards. Austar Lighting supports global procurement operations through a multi-tiered localized service strategy. We don't just ship boxes; we provide complete project support including dialux lighting simulations, wind-load capacity calculations, and custom optical distribution matching.
For coastal deployments, environments are subject to salt-spray mist, which accelerates the decay of typical cast-aluminum structures. Austar counteracts this by utilizing low-copper marine-grade ADC12 aluminum alloys combined with multi-stage chemical pre-treatments and high-durability thermosetting polyester coatings. This gives our fixtures C4 or C5 corrosion resistance ratings under ISO 12944 standards. Additionally, our surge protection options (10kV/20kV) safeguard LED drivers against unstable municipal grids, significantly lowering maintenance costs.
Ningbo, Zhejiang is the world's most concentrated cluster for outdoor lighting manufacturing. Choosing Austar grants buyers access to an integrated ecosystem that spans from raw ingot refinement to high-end LED driver packaging and precision optics mold fabrication. This proximity lowers logistics costs, accelerates component lead times, and allows us to offer shorter shipping windows. Our facility is situated close to the Port of Ningbo and the Port of Shanghai, allowing for straightforward sea transport configurations that optimize overall landed costs.
The global outdoor lighting sector is shifting from simple illumination to smart city integration. Municipalities want to preserve their historical identity while using modern smart controls. Austar's classical street lanterns are engineered with this in mind, integrating standard NEMA 3-pin, 5-pin, or 7-pin receptacles and Zhaga Book 18 connectors. This allows towns to install photo-controls or smart nodes directly onto traditional fixtures. Our designs support GPS positioning, automated dimming profiles, and environmental monitoring without altering the classic profile of the fixture.
