Architectural and structural lighting solutions engineered to withstand extreme environmental parameters.
The landscape of global commercial and municipal outdoor lighting is currently undergoing its most significant technological revolution since the invention of the electric lamp. Propelled by strict decarbonization targets such as the European Union Green Deal, and the transition toward smart city ecosystems, municipal authorities and industrial stakeholders are prioritizing optical performance, energy conservation, and system longevity.
High-efficiency LED fixtures are no longer judged solely by their initial lumen output. Rather, modern requirements demand detailed light distributions that prevent light pollution, ensure compliance with dark-sky associations, and integrate seamlessly with Internet of Things (IoT) architectures. In terms of engineering, manufacturers must balance thermal dissipation, dust protection, and water ingress prevention to maintain stability over operations exceeding 100,000 hours.

Strategically headquartered in the manufacturing hub of Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has established itself as an innovative force in outdoor municipal, residential, and commercial lighting systems since 2003. Occupying an advanced 10,000 square meter facility and supported by a specialized workforce of over 100 employees, we represent the optimal synthesis of Chinese industrial scale and European aesthetic refinement.
Through our long-term partnership with Italian industrial designers, we combine clean visual design with mechanical execution. We do not just build streetlights; we design urban lighting systems that complement the architectural heritage and visual profile of cities across 55 countries and regions. Our production is 100% focused on export markets, ensuring our team is experienced with international electrical regulations, mechanical loads, and distribution grids.
Our LED systems utilize premium components to maximize lifespan and lumen maintenance. Below is the technical specification baseline for our high-output outdoor luminaires:
| Component/Parameter | Standard Specification Baseline | Advanced Optionals & Upgrade Paths |
|---|---|---|
| Luminous Efficacy | 130 - 150 lm/W (System level, after optical losses) | Up to 170 lm/W with customized LED clusters |
| LED Driver Integration | Inventronics / MeanWell / Philips IP67 Programmed drivers | DALI-2, Zhaga Book 18 socket, 1-10V dimming support |
| Surge Protection (SPD) | 10kV Line-to-Line & Line-to-Earth | Upgrade to 20kV SPD for remote lightning-prone areas |
| Ingress & Impact Ratings | IP66 High-Pressure Water Jet / IK08 mechanical load | Up to IK10 structural impact verification |
| Color Temperature (CCT) | 3000K (Warm White) / 4000K (Neutral White) | 2200K (Dark-Sky Amber) to 6500K |
| Corrosion Resistance | Die-cast ADC12 aluminum with polyester powder coating | Special anti-salt marine grade treatment (C5-M coating) |
A look inside our manufacturing processes, including heavy die-casting, automated powder coating, and quality control lines.
Equipped with 1000T, 700T, and 300T high-pressure die-casting systems. This hardware allows us to manufacture complex monolithic aluminum housings with integrated cooling fins for thermal regulation.
Our electrostatic powder coating line applies weather-resistant polyester coatings. This provides protection against UV radiation, humidity, and atmospheric salinity, preventing substrate oxidation.
Quality assurance includes testing through goniophotometric darkrooms, IPX6 water spray test chambers, high-temperature environmental ovens, salt spray systems, and EMC interference laboratories.

Austar Lighting fixtures are engineered for specific outdoor and industrial locations:
1. Expressway & Urban Highways: Our high-output LED street series (such as the AUR6081 and AUS5671L series) provide uniform light distribution, reducing glare and blind spots. Optical distributions are designed to match EN13201 standard requirements for roadway spacing.
2. Historic Centers & Pedestrian Zones: Combining classic architecture with modern optical design, our traditional and classical street lighting series (including the Farol Fernandino and Ornamental lines) preserve historic aesthetics while using low-energy, amber-tinted LEDs.
3. Port Terminal & Industrial Yards: Exposure to marine air requires specialized materials. Our C5-M rated die-cast aluminum options protect fixtures from corrosion in maritime environments.
Exporting to 55 countries requires adherence to local electrical standards. Austar units are designed for quick installation, using tool-free access latches and auto-disconnect terminal blocks to protect field maintenance technicians during maintenance operations.
Additionally, our drivers operate across global voltages (100V-277V standard, and up to 480V for heavy industrial grids). Low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD < 10%) and high Power Factor (PF > 0.98) prevent grid noise, satisfying local utility requirements in both Europe and North America.
Our featured line of high-performance architectural street, park, and roadway light fixtures.
Developing products for the future of municipal infrastructures and interactive urban environments.
Integrating standard NEMA 5-Pin/7-Pin and Zhaga Book 18 interfaces allows fixtures to act as smart nodes, accommodating ambient light sensors, motion detectors, and 5G small cells.
Using precision cut-off optics to redirect upward light, reducing light pollution and protecting nocturnal ecosystems, while maintaining lighting requirements for roadways and pedestrian walkways.
Designing fixtures for ease of disassembly, using recyclable aluminum structures and modular light engines to facilitate repair and updates, reducing electronic waste over the product lifecycle.
