Engineered for architectural exterior, municipal park, and high-performance highway applications.
Navigating the paradigm shift toward IoT integration, spectral customization, and structural efficiency.
Outdoor lighting design has evolved beyond basic illumination. Modern area lighting fixtures are central points of smart city frameworks, driving decarbonization efforts while improving urban safety. The migration from standard, static LEDs to dynamically controlled, high-efficacy systems shapes the baseline parameters for international lighting procurement.
Integration of NEMA 7-pin and Zhaga Book 18 receptacles. These interfaces allow plug-and-play installation of photodetectors, motion sensors, and wireless communication nodes (LORA/cellular networks), linking lighting directly to municipal command centers.
Minimizing light pollution with precise photometric optics (Type I to Type V) and zero-uplight designs. Standardized BUG (Backlight, Uplight, Glare) ratings ensure municipal projects meet environmental guidelines without losing target area lux levels.
Reaching system efficacies up to 160-180 lm/W. Combining high-efficacy LED chip architectures with advanced thermal paths prevents junction temperature spikes, maintaining performance over an L80B10 lifespan of 100,000+ operating hours.
Austar's Design Vision: Partnering with Italian design houses, Austar combines European aesthetics with rugged utility. This ensures our area light fixtures, street luminaires, and historical lanterns provide high optical performance while blending seamlessly with classic and modern cityscapes.
Targeted luminaire engineering configurations for municipal, commercial, and high-exposure industrial zones.

A look inside our 10,000㎡ manufacturing facility in Ningbo, China.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has developed into a premier manufacturer of LED street lights and outdoor garden lighting. Operating from our specialized 10,000㎡ production base, our team of over 100 workers, 10 technicians, and 5 engineers produces more than 150,000 luminaire sets annually.
Our facility is equipped to handle structural production and precision testing, including 1000T, 700T, and 300T die-casting machinery, automated electrostatic powder coating lines, 3 manual and semi-automated assembly lines, and 2 dedicated LED load aging lines. We perform 100% burn-in testing on every production batch to ensure reliability before shipment.
How regional vertical integration keeps production efficient and costs stable.
Austar’s location in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, offers direct access to Ningbo Port, one of the world's busiest container hubs. This geographical advantage helps simplify logistics for global shipments. Beyond logistics, Ningbo's industrial cluster provides close proximity to raw material providers, casting facilities, and component suppliers, helping us maintain stable lead times during supply chain disruptions.
Our factory operations are organized to minimize waste and keep pricing competitive through:
Providing customized structural, electrical, and optical configurations for regional requirements.
We work closely with engineering firms, contractors, and national distributors. Our team adapts base models to meet specific local requirements, whether modifying electrical drivers, adjusting mounting options, or optimizing optical packages.
Drivers can be configured for Class I or Class II insulation, covering voltage ranges from 90V to 305V or 347-480V. Integrations include 10kV/20kV surge protection devices (SPDs) and dimming protocols such as 1-10V, PWM, or DALI-2.
Our products carry ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications, verifying safety and performance for European and global markets.
We configure mounting brackets for side-entry, post-top, or catenary suspensions, complete with custom RAL powder coatings to meet local wind-load and environmental specifications.
