Engineered for durability, optical precision, and structural elegance in municipal and commercial environments.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. stands at the forefront of precision engineering in Ningbo, China—the global epicenter of advanced tooling and die-casting infrastructure. Operating a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ manufacturing campus, our team of over 100 highly skilled technicians and specialist engineers design, manufacture, and export high-performance LED street lighting, decorative garden luminaires, traditional urban fittings, and classical post-top fixtures.
Our operational model is built upon three pillars: Italian aesthetic innovation, rigorous Chinese supply chain integration, and absolute regulatory compliance. By collaborating with leading Italian industrial designers, we create outdoor luminaires that offer modern performance without compromising the cultural identity of historic urban landscapes. As a result, 100% of our products are exported, illuminating streets, parks, public squares, and commercial developments across 55 countries and regions globally.
Why global procurement directors rely on Ningbo’s industrial ecosystem and Austar’s custom technical capabilities.
Our facility houses high-precision 1000T, 700T, and 300T die-casting machines. This robust mechanical capacity allows us to manufacture complex monolithic structural housings out of premium grade ADC12 aluminum. Large tonnage casting ensures minimal porosity, structural integrity under high wind loads, and exceptional heat dissipation behavior essential for LED lifespan preservation.
Operating under ISO 9001-14000 quality systems, we run fully automated electrostatic powder-coating lines and three strict assembly zones. Quality assurance is driven by our laboratory testing suites: Photoelectricity Integrating Spheres (spectroradiometer profiling), distribution photometers, salt spray chambers (for coastal corrosion resilience), EMC test chambers, and dedicated LED driver-load burn-in systems.
Global architectural standards command absolute legal safety adherence. All Austar products pass through stringent testing workflows to carry verified international certificates, including ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD. This permits instant approval for tender proposals and commercial projects in Western Europe, the EU, UK, and Australasia.
Understanding the transition from traditional gas-discharge fixtures to adaptive connected ecosystems.
Modern municipalities require outdoor light fixtures that prevent skyglow and protect local environments. Austar's custom-engineered optical lenses offer precise light distribution patterns (Type I, II, III, IV, and V), zero upward light ratio (ULR), and warmth customization down to 2200K amber LED configurations, mitigating disruption to local wildlife.
All modern LED street and garden fixtures are designed to support smart city controls. We offer standardized top-mounted Zhaga or NEMA receptacles, allowing quick integration with photocells, motion sensors, and Central Management Systems (CMS) via LoRaWAN, Zigbee, or cellular IoT protocols.
Fitted with stainless steel hardware, treated gaskets, and marine-grade polyester powders, Austar luminaires are built to withstand marine environments. They pass 1000+ hours of continuous salt-spray testing, making them ideal for coastal roadways, boardwalks, and ports.
Overheating shortens the life of LED chips and drivers. Our custom heatsinks use passive convective currents, keeping junction temperatures below 75°C in 50°C ambient temperatures. This ensures our luminaires maintain 90% of their initial output for over 50,000 hours.

Solving complex outdoor illumination challenges across diverse global environments.
Heavy commuter volumes require bright, even light distribution to maximize safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Using our LED Street Light and Classical Street Lighting series, cities can save up to 65% in energy costs compared to old sodium lamps, while keeping historical areas looking classic during the day.
Historical centers require lighting that complements old architecture. Our European and Classical Street series preserve traditional styles while housing modern LED optics underneath, helping cities keep their historic character while upgrading to clean, low-maintenance lighting.
Parks and green spaces need softer lighting that highlights natural features without creating harsh glare. Our Led Garden Light and Bollard Light series provide safe, low-level illumination along paths, using precise cutoffs to prevent light spill into nearby buildings.
We provide full support for custom architectural requests, offering rapid design and sample turnaround. With our in-house engineering and mold shop, we can turn custom concepts into physical prototypes in just 30 days.
Whether you need to modify existing optical distributions, integrate smart IoT nodes, match custom colors, or replicate historic fixtures, we handle the entire process from structural analysis to final certifications.
Transparent production scheduling, flexible payment terms, and convenient shipping options.
We respond to all technical RFQs and pricing requests within 12 hours on workdays. We support standard international trade terms like FOB, CIF, and CNF, helping you manage landed costs accurately.
For standard batch production, we require a 30% deposit to initiate casting, with the remaining balance due against the copy of the Bill of Lading (B/L). We accept T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) and L/C (Letter of Credit) for larger municipal orders.
Located in Ningbo, China, our facility sits near major deep-water ports, including the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan and the Port of Shanghai. This nearby shipping access keeps freight costs competitive and transit times reliable. For urgent project phases, we can coordinate air freight out of Hangzhou or Shanghai airports.
