Austar
Premium outdoor luminaire series optimized for municipal streets, smart cities, and public spaces in Qatar.
Qatar's massive modernization blueprint, anchored by the **Qatar National Vision 2030**, has transformed the metropolitan area of Doha into one of the world's most dynamic hubs of architecture and smart city design. Projects such as the sprawling 38-square-kilometer smart urban center of Lusail City, the historical conservation campaigns at Msheireb Downtown Doha, and extensive state highways require complex lighting configurations. Modern public construction projects in Doha demand sustainable, durable, and network-ready fixtures integrated with smart municipal networks.
However, lighting design for the Persian Gulf region cannot rely on standard outdoor specifications. Suppliers must design systems to survive Qatar's severe desert climate. Peak ambient temperatures frequently exceed 50°C during the summer, combined with high relative humidity and fine particulate dust storm exposure. This environments demands reliable thermal engineering and physical build qualities.
Standard LED configurations typically fail early in Middle Eastern conditions due to standard drivers overheating. Our custom-engineered outdoor LED road and garden lights feature advanced die-cast aluminum ADC12 chassis with passive thermal venting. This prevents heat buildup around sensitive LED chips (such as Lumileds and Osram), maintaining long life and high performance even under constant high heat.
To operate reliably in Doha's harsh conditions, our street and landscape luminaires are built to meet the following rugged specifications:
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is one of the most developed outdoor lighting manufacturers in Ningbo, China. Established in 2003, our production facility occupies a 10,000㎡ industrial footprint, staffed by more than 100 dedicated employees, including 10 technicians and 5 engineers. We specialize in producing premium LED street lighting, architectural roadway systems, and outdoor garden lighting fixtures, achieving an annual production capacity exceeding 150,000 units.
Through our close collaboration with experienced Italian lighting designers, we combine structural efficiency and durability with timeless European design. This partnership ensures that our municipal luminaires integrate seamlessly into historic urban spaces like Katara and contemporary projects like the Lusail Smart City skyline.
To guarantee our products exceed strict international standards, we have invested heavily in testing facilities. Our quality assurance protocol includes testing with photoelectricity integrating systems, electric current testing systems, salt spray chambers, EMC testing facilities, and specialized LED driver-load aging machines. Under a strict ISO9001-14000 quality control regime, we guarantee performance for every batch. All our products carry major global certifications, including ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD.
Our facility houses 1000T, 700T, and 300T high-pressure die-casting machines, an automated electrostatic powder coating line, three assembly lines, and two high-volume LED aging lines. This allows us to handle large-scale municipal bids, OEM, and ODM requests with short production lead times.
These internationally certified models are widely deployed in regional street projects, parks, and residential walkways.
For lighting projects in Doha, compliance with local regulations is key. The **QCS 2014 (Qatar Construction Specifications)**, together with structural design approvals from **Ashghal (Public Works Authority)** and electrical guidelines from **Kahramaa (Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation)**, establish strict engineering metrics. These include requirements for power factor efficiency, light pollution mitigation (zero upward light spill in residential zones), structural wind load calculations, and energy performance metrics.
Our outdoor lighting systems are engineered to exceed these criteria. Our key compliance measures include:
Procuring lighting from our high-capacity Ningbo factory provides significant cost, quality, and logistics advantages compared to sourcing from European manufacturers:
Our location in Ningbo, Zhejiang province puts us in the center of the world's most advanced lighting manufacturing cluster. We source raw ADC12 aluminum ingots, high-grade silicon, premium drivers, and optics at highly competitive rates, passing those savings to our clients. Our 10,000㎡ factory uses advanced automation, reducing labor costs while ensuring precise tolerances across large manufacturing runs.
Additionally, our proximity to the major global shipping centers of **Ningbo Port** and **Shanghai Port** ensures regular, direct sea transport routes to **Hamad Port (Doha)**. This direct supply line helps us maintain short lead times and reliable delivery schedules for major project deadlines in Qatar.
For custom urban installations, our engineering team can design custom CAD layouts and manufacture prototypes in less than 30 days. We collaborate closely with developers and local contractors to design custom mounting brackets, specific beam distributions, or custom RAL finishes to meet Qatari project requirements.

Premium solutions combining classical aesthetic styles with modern high-efficiency LED engine systems.
Enterprise procurement professionals and engineering consultants in Qatar have specific requirements for large-scale outdoor projects. Standard consumer-grade catalogs do not meet the strict technical standards of Qatari ministries. We offer professional project support to help contractors secure engineering approvals:
We work with international testing authorities such as SGS, TÜV, and Intertek to provide factory auditing, pre-shipment inspections, and witness testing services. This ensures that every shipment arrives in Doha fully documented and compliant with local standards.
Our product lineup is designed to suit the diverse urban aesthetics and applications across Doha:
