Advanced optoelectronic engines designed for retrofit and new street lighting configurations.
Spain is undergoing a major transformation in public illumination. Under the guidelines of the IDAE (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía) and the updated Reglamento de Eficiencia Energética en Instalaciones de Alumbrado Público, municipalities from Catalonia to Andalusia are mandating dramatic reductions in light pollution and electric consumption. This industrial drive requires high-performance, warm CCT (e.g., 2200K to 2700K) LED modules with zero upward light output (FHSinst < 1%) to protect natural reserves and historical sites.
Spanish urban spaces are dominated by classic lighting designs such as the Farol Villa and the Farol Fernandino. Preserving these cast-iron structures while satisfying modern illumination parameters requires specialized LED retrofit gear plates. Our factory customizes IP66-rated modules that slip directly into these historic housings, optimizing thermals via premium aluminum PCBs and high-durability PMMA lenses without altering Spain's architectural heritage.
Our optoelectronic solutions are meticulously engineered to pass the stringent inspection protocols of local Spanish distributors and utilities. We verify parameters including:
Combining Ningbo's production efficiency with high-tier European design aesthetics.
Founded in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has established itself as an authoritative manufacturer in the outdoor optoelectronics sector. Operating out of a robust 10,000㎡ manufacturing base in Ningbo, China, we maintain a dedicated workforce of over 100 specialists, including 10 technicians and 5 senior optical/thermal engineers. Our annual yield exceeds 150,000 units of street and garden illumination solutions, exported across 55 countries and territories.
To align with European design principles and aesthetic standards, we coordinate directly with Italian lighting designers. This balance allows us to create LED modules and outdoor luminaires that look architectural while housing robust thermal dissipation layouts. For Spain’s specific climates—ranging from the high salt-mist coastal environments of Malaga to the freezing nights of the central Meseta—we implement advanced corrosion testing and weather-resistant surface coatings.
Unlike trading entities, we own our core manufacturing facilities. Our casting plant operates heavy 1000T, 700T, and 300T die-casting machinery, giving us full structural autonomy over our luminaire bodies. Our QA protocols are backed by top-tier diagnostic hardware, including:
| Parameters | Standard Rating |
|---|---|
| Luminous Efficacy | Up to 160 lm/W |
| Color Temperatures | 2200K, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K |
| CRI / Ra | >70, >80 (Customizable) |
| Protection Rating | IP66 / IK09 minimum |
Addressing the key points of reliability, durability, and photometrical control.
Junction temperature ($T_j$) determines the longevity and luminous efficiency of light-emitting diodes. We use 2.0 W/m-K thermal conductivity aluminum PCBs combined with high-grade thermal pads to interface the LED boards directly with the heat sinks. This maintains low junction temperatures even during severe heatwaves in inland Spain.
Our modules utilize optical-grade, UV-stabilized PMMA lensing with multiple light distributions (IESNA Type II Medium, Type III Short, and asymmetric pedestrian walk optics). These optimize spacing index configurations while keeping ULR ratings to 0%, avoiding glare issues in residential zones.
In line with European specifications, our smart modules support Zhaga standard dimensions and interfaces. Combined with programmable DALI-2, 1-10V, or SR drivers, these units are ready for telemanagement nodes, letting local operators dim the installation based on nighttime traffic.
Spain features diverse microclimates, from high humidity and saline atmospheres along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, to extreme thermal fluctuations in inland plateau cities like Burgos. Austar Lighting’s solutions handle these conditions with:
