Engineered for high performance, featuring advanced IP66 waterproof protection and optimal thermal dissipation for tropical climates.
India is undergoing an unprecedented urban transformation. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has driven massive initiatives through the Smart Cities Mission and AMRUT 2.0 (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation). In this macroeconomic shift, urban park spaces, corporate tech parks (specifically in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune), and historical monument landscapes are transitioning rapidly from traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide fixtures to intelligent, energy-efficient LED lighting systems.
The core commercial requirements in the Indian subcontinent dictate lighting that balances long-term energy operational cost reduction with strict aesthetic requirements. As professional landscape architects and municipal contractors target public safety and community well-being, the demands on thermal management, dust-proofing, and water ingress prevention have reached new heights. Standard consumer-grade outdoor fixtures fail prematurely in the face of India's high humidity levels, extreme monsoon seasons, and severe ambient heat during summers (where temperatures regularly exceed 45°C).
For major Indian EPC contractors such as L&T, Tata Projects, and municipal bodies like DDA, BMC, and BBMP, selecting a lighting partner requires deep evidence of technical capability, reliability, and financial compliance. A reliable OEM/ODM factory must demonstrate comprehensive quality systems including ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental assurance.
Austar Lighting integrates these rigorous manufacturing standards at every stage. In cooperation with renowned European lighting designers, we bring global structural aesthetics and top-tier engineering to the Indian domestic market. Every batch of luminaires is backed by third-party certified test reports (including ENEC, CB, CE, LVD, and robust environmental testing for salt spray resistance, IP rating compliance, and photometric performance), assuring procurement managers that their projects will meet local audit inspections and deliver a prolonged product lifecycle.
A primary failure point of LED street and park lights in India is thermal degradation. High ambient heat, combined with insufficient heat dissipation, causes rapid lumen depreciation and LED driver failure. Austar's park lighting fixtures utilize advanced ADC12 grade die-cast aluminum housings designed with integrated heat-dissipating channels. By keeping the junction temperature of the LED chips below 75°C (at 45°C ambient), we achieve an L70 lifetime of more than 50,000 hours, keeping maintenance overhead virtually zero.
Established in 2003 and located in the lighting manufacturing hub of Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. spans a 10,000㎡ modern manufacturing facility. Powered by a workforce of over 100 dedicated lighting experts, including 10 senior technicians and 5 research engineers, we produce over 150,000 high-quality luminaires annually.
Take an inside look at our advanced production facilities and strict quality verification protocols.
To guarantee performance across unstable power grids and high dust/humidity environments typical of Indian municipalities, Austar operates dedicated quality laboratories. These laboratories house advanced testing equipment, including integrating spheres, darkroom goniophotometers, high/low-temperature testers, salt spray corrosion testing chambers, and full IPX6 / IPX7 waterproof rating simulation equipment. Every single batch undergoes 100% burn-in and driver-load aging testing before shipping.
We configure custom optical, physical, and electrical configurations for unique regional environments.
Combining classic aesthetics with cutting-edge LED technology, these configurations provide soft, warm light (2700K - 3000K) suitable for preserving historical vibes in Delhi, Rajasthan, and Southern heritage centers, without compromising on security and clarity.
Designed to combat high salt air, humidity, and constant sea winds in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Kochi. Equipped with marine-grade 316 stainless steel accessories and C5-M rated anti-corrosive powder coatings.
Supporting modern IoT environments with NEMA and Zhaga connectors, facilitating integration with motion sensors, smart dimming (Zigbee/LoRa), and central building management systems for high-tech industrial parks.

Where advanced material science meets state-of-the-art optical engineering to power India's green future.
Across many municipal regions in India, grid supply experiences severe voltage drops and high-energy transient surges due to local transformer loads. Our engineering team installs drivers with wide mains operational safety ranges (minimum 90V - maximum 305V AC). Integrated with heavy-duty 10kV to 20kV surge protection devices (SPD), the internal components remain completely isolated from catastrophic grid faults.
Future-proof municipal design relies on adaptability. Austar LED Park Luminaires come with option-ready NEMA 7-pin or Zhaga Book 18 bases. This allows easy integration of smart photodetectors or central management node transceivers (supporting cellular NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, or Zigbee protocols). Municipalities can program real-time astronomical dimming schedules, monitor power consumption, and receive instant diagnostic reports when a lamp fails, significantly cutting operations and maintenance costs.
Using high-grade optical polycarbonate and PMMA materials, we create specialized distributions (Type II, Type III, Symmetric, and Asymmetric) that provide uniform street and path illumination. This layout guarantees zero light spill towards adjacent windows and minimizes up-light, satisfying strict Dark Sky principles.
Our raw material sourcing prioritizes recycled aluminum alloy (ADC12), significantly reducing carbon footprints from extraction. Together with non-hazardous powder-coating materials and packaging configurations optimized for shipping container volume, we actively assist our clients in achieving high marks in corporate green audits and LEED/GRIHA green building ratings.
