Engineered to meet the stringent technical requirements of Central American public infrastructure and private developments.
Costa Rica stands as a global beacon for ecological sustainability, driving aggressive initiatives under its National Decarbonization Plan 2018-2050. A crucial pillar of this transition involves upgrading public and industrial illumination infrastructures to energy-efficient systems. However, the unique microclimates of Costa Rica—spanning high humidity, tropical downpours, and intense coastal salinity in regions like Limón and Puntarenas—present harsh conditions for standard solid-state lighting.
As a premier LED modules manufacturer, we engineer systems that directly address these environmental pressures. From municipal highways in San José to high-end eco-resorts in Guanacaste, our solutions are built to withstand high relative humidity (up to 95%) and severe lightning-induced surges. By integrating advanced thermal management with corrosion-resistant coatings, we ensure that municipal and industrial operations maintain long-term reliability while significantly cutting power consumption.
Operating out of a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ production facility in Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has established itself as an authoritative force in outdoor luminaire design. Collaborating with leading Italian industrial lighting designers, we merge European aesthetic sensibilities with robust, high-volume production capabilities.
To guarantee performance under harsh operating conditions, our testing labs employ sophisticated photoelectricity integrating systems, comprehensive high-voltage surge testing, salt spray testing chambers, EMC facilities, and automated LED driver-load aging systems. Certified under ISO9001-14000 quality systems, all our lighting products bear ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certifications, ensuring friction-free regulatory compliance for governmental and commercial procurement projects in Costa Rica.
Designing durable physical architectures that mitigate regional challenges like seismic shifts, volcanic particulates, and high UV damage.
Our modules utilize high-purity die-cast aluminum (ADC12) with conversion coatings and premium marine-grade powder finishes. Tested for 1000+ hours in salt spray chambers to prevent oxidation in seaside installations.
Given Costa Rica's high lightning density, our modules are configured with built-in 10kV/20kV Surge Protection Devices (SPDs). This architecture prevents driver failure during high-intensity electrical storms.
Equipped with standard NEMA 3-Pin, 5-Pin, or 7-Pin receptacles and Zhaga Book 18 sockets. Our modules integrate seamlessly with regional Central Management Systems (CMS) and IoT photocells.

Standard and customizable configurations delivering up to 180 lm/W for municipal, retail, and commercial contractors.
When source engineers and procurement professionals contract with factories, standard off-the-shelf items rarely meet precise regional profiles. We provide deep OEM and ODM customization services, altering beam optics (Type I, II, III, IV, V), power draws (30W up to 320W), CCT profiles (from warm amber 2200K designed for ecological safety to clear 5000K daylight), and driving currents.
Our logistics support handles fast marine container loading from Ningbo Port directly targeting Costa Rican ports of arrival, notably Puerto Limón on the Atlantic and Puerto Caldera on the Pacific coast. This localized supply routing eliminates excessive transit times and keeps shipping tariffs minimal. Furthermore, our engineering division delivers rapid 3D prototyping and optical simulations using DIALux within 1-2 days of receiving coordinate files.
A key criterion in Costa Rica's commercial construction projects—especially in eco-lodges, rural corridors, and beachfront areas—is the mitigation of light pollution. Unshielded blue light disrupts native fauna, specifically nocturnal species and nesting sea turtles on the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.
In compliance with global Dark Sky regulations, we manufacture specialized LED modules equipped with narrow-band amber wavelengths (sub-590nm) and cut-off shields. These custom assemblies redirect scattered light downwards, avoiding spillover into surrounding natural sanctuaries. Through precise optical engineering, we help Costa Rican properties secure environmental ratings and ensure alignment with national eco-certification programs.

Detailed technical queries regarding specification compliance, structural capabilities, and Costa Rican delivery logistics.
We utilize waterproof IP66/IP67 breathers, high-grade silicon sealing rings, and polyurethane potting solutions for our drivers. Additionally, all external components undergo rigorous condensation testing to prevent inner-cavity moisture accumulation.
Yes, our LED street lights and modular configurations comply with European (ENEC, CE, CB) and international specifications, which align directly with the criteria used by the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes (MOPT) and major municipal councils.
Typically, production takes 30-35 days from finalized specifications. Shipping via sea freight from Ningbo Port to Puerto Limón or Puerto Caldera takes approximately 25-30 days, including customs preparation.
Yes. We collaborate with optical designers to offer custom PMMA lens configurations (Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V) matching the specific mounting height and road layout of your local projects.
We operate our own dedicated LED luminaire manufacturing factory and pole fabrication facility. We hold autonomous import/export rights and directly commercialize our output to control quality and cost.
Our facility features an array of diagnostic instruments, including high-accuracy spectrum analyzers, a darkroom goniophotometer, salt spray chambers, drop testers, high/low temperature chambers, and specialized water ingress testers.
We conduct transactions under standard international trade terms (FOB, CIF, CFR). The baseline payment structure is a 30% deposit via T/T, with the remaining balance due upon receipt of the Bill of Lading (B/L) copy. L/C payments are also accepted.
Absolutely. Our LED modules are compatible with DC 12V/24V solar controller circuits, which is ideal for remote eco-tourism corridors and coastal preservation reserves throughout Costa Rica.
