Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is recognized as one of the premier developers and high-tech manufacturers of architectural outdoor lighting systems in Ningbo, China. Since our establishment in 2003, we have scaled our production capacity to occupy a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ industrial facility, supported by over 100 highly specialized technicians, engineers, and quality assurance personnel.
By collaborating closely with leading Italian lighting designers, we combine European artistic heritage and aesthetic sensibilities with cutting-edge optical innovations. Our product portfolio—spanning smart LED streetlights, architectural pedestrian lights, and classic historical luminaires—is exported globally across 55 countries and regions.
To guarantee compliance with the most stringent municipal safety and environmental directives, we deploy specialized in-house laboratories. Our testing array includes photoelectric integrating spheres, high-precision salt-spray testers, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing rooms, and dynamic LED driver thermal-load aging rigs. As a result, our entire production line is fully certified under ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD frameworks, operational under the strict control of the ISO9001-14000 Quality and Environmental Management System.
Switzerland imposes some of the most rigorous public infrastructure requirements in the world, prioritizing dark-sky preservation, ecological balance, and long-term asset value.
Under the Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage (NHTG), public lighting installations must strictly limit skyglow. Our classical line features precision-cut Internal Shielding and Flat Glass Diffusers, ensuring a Uplight Output Ratio (ULOR) of 0%, targeting light only where needed.
Efficiency standards demand street luminaires to produce higher lumens per watt while integrating smart interfaces. Austar classical housings support Zhaga Book 18 and NEMA smart sockets, compatible with municipal tele-management networks used by Swiss energy grid operators.
Preserving the aesthetic continuity of historic towns (such as Lucerne, Bern, and St. Gallen) while transitioning away from obsolete high-pressure sodium lamps. Our classical LED line mirrors traditional architectural aesthetics without compromising on modern thermal efficiency.
How Austar luminaires meet the evolving standard of smart, low-maintenance roadway infrastructure.
Modern municipalities in Switzerland require automated dimming levels (AstroDimming) to balance energy demand during late-night hours. Our drivers integrate standard 1-10V and DALI-2 protocols, enabling seamless communication with cantonal management systems.
To reduce road accidents while protecting surrounding residential areas, we offer asymmetric optical lenses tailored specifically for narrow lanes, pedestrian crossings, and park pathways. Using high-purity PMMA lenses, we minimize glare indexes to comply with EN 13201 streetlighting classes.
Alpine salt spray and extreme thermal cycles demand robust material choices. Our housings are manufactured using high-pressure die-cast aluminum (EN AC-44300 equivalent) coated with thermosetting polyester powders, providing long-term resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and moisture ingress.
