Explore our flagship commercial and residential post-top luminaires, engineered to meet international illumination standards.
Established in 2003 in the manufacturing powerhouse of Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has spent over two decades pioneering high-performance LED street lighting and architectural outdoor garden solutions. Spanning a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ production facility and backed by over 100 dedicated technical and operations professionals, we maintain a robust annual output exceeding 150,000 sets of luminaires.
Our Design Philosophy: Collaborative refinement with elite Italian industrial lighting designers ensures that every product we manufacture merges contemporary aesthetics with precision optical performance. 100% of our products are exported globally, transforming urban environments across 55 countries and regions.
To ensure our post lanterns meet the rigorous requirements of municipal planners, civil engineers, and lighting wholesale distributors, we invest heavily in internal test facilities. Our testing pipeline is equipped with photoelectricity integrating systems, electric current analysis suites, salt spray chambers, EMC labs, and LED driver-load thermal aging setups. This end-to-end quality validation guarantees that all delivered systems comply with ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications under strict ISO9001-14000 quality management structures.
Analyzing key drivers in modern outdoor lighting: Efficiency, smart integrations, and long-term performance.
Municipalities globally are enforcing strict energy efficiency regulations (such as Europe's ErP Directive and USA's DLC V5.1). Post lanterns must now output higher lumens per watt while integrating smart photocells and bi-level dimming sensors to minimize carbon footprints.
Commercial specifiers prioritize luminaires with precise optical configurations (U-0 upward light ratio) to preserve dark skies. Our Italian-designed refractive optics project light downward, preventing unwanted light spill and reducing urban skyglow.
High-end developers and public organizations focus on components that offer extended lifetimes. This demands standardizing on die-cast aluminum (ADC12), architectural-grade powder coatings, and branded LED drivers (such as Meanwell or Philips) to ensure a 50,000+ hour operational lifespan.
Adapting post-top solutions to varied municipal, architectural, and environmental challenges.
Historic corridors in cities across Spain, Italy, and Latin America require the retention of classical designs such as the Farol Imperial and Farol Fernandino. Austar retrofits these historic profiles with advanced modular LED gear trays, ensuring architectural continuity while reducing power consumption by up to 70%.
Urban parks and boardwalks demand safe, uniform light distribution without harsh glare. By deploying our asymmetrical optic designs, municipal managers achieve safe, welcoming walkways with minimal light interference in adjacent residential windows.
Harsh sea air and high humidity lead to accelerated degradation. To counter this, our coastal-ready post lanterns undergo extensive in-house salt spray testing. Combined with high-grade multi-layer polyester powder coating, our components resist rust and surface oxidation, maintaining performance for years.
Forward-thinking innovations setting the standard for next-generation municipal lighting.
Our upcoming product lines feature standard Zhaga Book 18 and NEMA 7-pin receptacles. This allows cities to plug in nodes for smart city networking (CMS), ambient light level sensors, and real-time power monitoring without modifying the housing.
Through finite element analysis, we have optimized the die-cast heat-sinks of our post-top luminaires. This structure facilitates natural vertical convection, keeping LED junction temperatures below 65°C to maximize lumen maintenance (L90B10 > 50,000 hours).
Aligning with ecological goals, our enclosures are constructed from fully recyclable high-purity aluminum alloys. Driver compartments are engineered for straightforward, tool-less on-site maintenance, reducing electronic waste over the product life cycle.
Inside our advanced production complex: Vertical integration, quality testing, and logistics efficiency.
Austar’s manufacturing capabilities are built on robust vertical integration. Located near Ningbo and Shanghai ports, we leverage proximity to raw materials and convenient logistics channels to minimize supply chain disruptions and reduce delivery times.
Our facility houses 1000T, 700T, and 300T high-pressure die-casting machinery, an automated electrostatic powder spraying line, three assembly lines, and two specialized LED thermal aging zones. This vertical setup enables us to go from concept to finished mold in under a month, giving our OEM and ODM partners a distinct time-to-market advantage.
