Advanced high-efficiency street lights engineered for high wind velocity, salt-spray environments, and INMETRO requirements.
Analyzing Macro Infrastructure and Regulatory Demands
The public lighting landscape in Brazil is undergoing a profound structural evolution. Driven by Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and municipal concessions, cities across Brazil—from metropolitan hubs like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to regional municipalities—are replacing legacy High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixtures with intelligent, low-emission solid-state LED systems.
Operating a lighting network in Brazil presents unique geographical and climatic challenges. Coastal deployment requires structural resistance to "maresia" (corrosive salt spray), while inland regions demand robust surge protection systems up to 20kV to withstand tropical lighting transients. Concurrently, all fixtures must strictly adhere to INMETRO Portaria 20/2020, ensuring electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and highly efficient photometry designed for various Brazilian street widths and pole configurations.
Aligning international engineering excellence with Brazilian sustainable urban design
Ready for smart city node integrations, facilitating automated asset management, remote dimming, and real-time failure alerts via local LoRaWAN and cellular networks.
Helping municipalities reduce energy consumption by up to 60-70%, translating directly into certified reductions in carbon emissions for ESG aligned funding.
High-grade cast aluminum heat sinks designed to operate continuously under Brazil's intense ambient temperatures, guaranteeing a L90 lifetime exceeding 100,000 hours.

Global Quality, Tailored Local Engineering
Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is one of the most developed and innovative manufacturers of outdoor municipal lighting systems in Ningbo, China. Since our establishment in 2003, our operation has grown to span a state-of-the-art 10,000㎡ production facility. With a dedicated team of over 100 expert technicians and engineers, we specialize in high-efficiency LED Street lighting and architectural garden systems.
Through close collaboration with leading Italian industrial lighting designers, our catalog balances state-of-the-art optic systems with high aesthetic value. Our advanced testing infrastructure includes darkrooms, photoelectric integrating systems, salt spray chambers, environmental simulation facilities, and high-precision driver aging lines. This allows us to guarantee that all delivered systems are fully certified with ENEC, CB, CE, LVD, and conform to the performance benchmarks required by Brazilian operators.

Proven configurations designed to meet specific municipal landscape challenges in South America
Highly saline environments, such as roadways in Rio de Janeiro, Santos, or Recife, require C5-M high-durability anti-corrosion finishes. Our fixtures integrate high-purity die-cast aluminum alloys with specialized surface seals to resist rapid degradation caused by persistent coastal salt mist.
Historical urban centers in Salvador, Ouro Preto, or Recife Antigo require traditional architectural aesthetics. Using historically respectful models like the Villa Pro and Fernandino lines, we offer 2200K-3000K warm LED options that preserve heritage atmospheres while slashing energy demand.
Major tollways (such as CCR and Arteris networks) require precise asymmetric light distribution to ensure uniform visibility and safety at high speeds. Our modular optics prevent glare while supporting integrated surge protection up to 20kV to maintain operations through severe tropical lightning events.
Bridging solid-state lighting with future-proof urban sensor networks
Our commitment to future-proof infrastructure extends past high-efficiency LED arrays. The next generation of urban development in Brazil relies on connected nodes. Austar's product design roadmap integrates standard ANSI C136.41 NEMA 7-Pin and Zhaga Book 18 interfaces into our complete product portfolio.
This allows municipalities to roll out baseline hardware today and upgrade to IoT mesh controllers tomorrow without replacing the luminaire. Our ongoing development projects include:
As utility concessions demand longer performance warranties, sourcing components from a trusted partner is critical. Austar combines Italian product design with strict ISO9001 quality controls. By verifying performance metrics in our integrated testing lab—utilizing spectrum analyzers, darkrooms, high/low temperature testing, and impact chambers—we deliver reliable, field-tested systems.
All designs conform to the ENEC, CB, and CE benchmarks expected by modern infrastructure developers.
