Technical DatasheetNorway represents one of the most challenging operating environments in the world for outdoor municipal and commercial infrastructure. With long arctic winter nights, extreme temperature fluctuations ranging from deep sub-zero conditions to humid summer periods, and coastal roadways subjected to highly corrosive saline sea-spray, the structural integrity of street lighting poles is of paramount importance. Local municipal authorities (Kommuner) and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen) enforce rigorous criteria regarding material durability, optical efficacy, and long-term mechanical reliability.
Modern Norwegian street lighting projects have shifted from simple illumination systems to dynamic components of the smart grid. Under the national target to reduce carbon emissions and optimize energy utilization, municipal lighting networks demand smart-ready, highly durable, and environmentally low-impact street light poles and luminaires. Sustainable sourcing, backed by Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), is no longer an option but a structural procurement requirement for infrastructure investments across Norway.
Norway is at the forefront of the global green transition. The lighting poles deployed on coastal routes such as the E6, E18, and E39 highways must be manufactured using processes that minimize embodied carbon. Utilizing high-grade aluminum and hot-dip galvanized steel that can be 100% recycled at the end of its operational life cycle is a primary trend in Norwegian infrastructure planning.
Additionally, the integration of smart controls—utilizing Zhaga or NEMA sockets connected to intelligent control systems—allows real-time dimming based on traffic density and natural light levels. This technological progression minimizes light pollution, protects local nocturnal biodiversity, and significantly curtails municipal electricity expenditures, aligning directly with Norway's national sustainability parameters.
All light poles intended for Norway must comply with NS-EN 1991-1-4 (Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Wind actions). Our engineering department conducts localized wind-load calculations taking into account topography, height above sea level, and proximity to open fjord areas, preventing structural failures during seasonal Atlantic storms.
By standardizing on smart-interface connections, our pole designs and luminaires are ready to accept localized node control modules (CMS). This facilitates future-proof upgrades without requiring post-installation structural wiring adjustments or complete head replacements.
In accordance with NS-EN 12767, our highway poles can be configured to provide varying levels of energy absorption. High-safety passive structures minimize occupant injury risk in the event of vehicular collisions on rural expressways.
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is established as one of the most advanced export-oriented manufacturers in Ningbo, China. Occupying a modern 10,000㎡ production facility, our organization employs over 100 highly specialized personnel, including a dedicated core of 10 design technicians and 5 senior structural engineers. We focus specifically on high-performance LED street lighting, integrated outdoor garden lighting systems, and heavy-duty structural steel and aluminum columns, outputting more than 150,000 complete assemblies annually.
Through close collaboration with leading Italian outdoor lighting designers, we maintain an innovative design language that blends contemporary European aesthetic values with rigid mechanical utility. Our international focus translates to a 100% export model, serving client networks across 55 countries and regions worldwide.
To verify our products meet the stringent expectations of municipal procurement agents, we employ cutting-edge testing equipment directly in our facility. This includes full photoelectricity integrating sphere systems, complex electrical current testing rigs, standardized salt-spray testing chambers (to verify maritime C5-M resistance), dedicated EMC facilities, and automated LED driver-load aging systems. All products comply with and carry recognized international certifications, including ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD, operating under strict ISO9001-14000 quality management protocols.

To successfully deliver infrastructure projects in Norway, products must adapt to regional engineering expectations. Below is our structural framework ensuring reliability across Norwegian commercial and public sectors:
Our street lighting columns utilize high-grade structural steel conforming to EN 10025, subjected to hot-dip galvanization in compliance with EN ISO 1461. This creates a thick, metallurgically bonded zinc barrier coating that prevents rust propagation under sustained exposure to moisture and road-deicing salts.
Sub-zero conditions can cause internal mechanical stresses and electrical failure. Our luminaires are equipped with premium-tier, thermal-shock resistant LED drivers capable of cold start-up at -40°C, and housings are configured with pressure-equalizing ventilation plugs to prevent internal condensation.
We incorporate custom-designed PMMA lenses featuring precise asymmetrical distributions. This targets light strictly to the roadway and pedestrian pathways (complying with EN 13201 classes M1 through M5), minimizing backward spill-light and avoiding glare in nearby residential or ecological zones.
A comprehensive range of high-efficiency luminaires and matching poles structured for municipal plazas, public parks, highway intersections, and commercial ports.
Symmetric distribution design ideal for pedestrian areas, parks, and residential pathways.
