Explore our main industrial streetlighting and structural components. These models feature structural die-cast aluminum alloys optimized for superior durability and high thermal conductivity. They are ideal for municipal infrastructure projects requiring robust lighting solutions.
Established in 2003 in Ningbo, China, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. has grown into a developed manufacturer specializing in LED street lighting and outdoor garden lighting. The company operates a 10,000 square meter production facility and maintains a workforce of over 100 employees, including 10 dedicated technicians and 5 senior structural and electrical engineers. This engineering team enables Austar to support full OEM and ODM projects.
Austar's output exceeds 150,000 sets annually. In collaboration with Italian industrial lighting designers, the company blends European design aesthetics with specialized manufacturing processes. This approach ensures all products meet structural, optical, and thermal requirements.
As a 100% export-focused enterprise, Austar supplies municipalities, utility providers, and contractors in 55 countries. Key markets include Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and the United States. To support consistent international supply quality, Austar maintains strict quality control systems.
Austar's quality control program operates under an integrated ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) system. In-house engineering labs are equipped with testing instruments to verify fixture durability and electrical safety:
Modern street lighting projects require luminaires tailored to specific geographical environments, traffic configurations, and local architectural guidelines. The requirements of a coastal highway differ significantly from those of a historic European pedestrian plaza.
High-speed roads require uniform lighting and effective glare control to ensure driver safety. Austar's high-wattage streetlighting series uses precision asymmetric optics to distribute light across multiple traffic lanes. The high-pressure die-cast housings are aerodynamically designed to minimize wind resistance, while the mechanical mountings withstand constant vibration from heavy traffic.
Historic districts benefit from lighting that complements local architectural heritage. Austar's classical street series integrates modern, high-efficiency LED modules within classic, traditional housings like the Farol Fernandino and Villa Pro. This setup allows municipalities to retain traditional aesthetics while achieving modern energy efficiency.
For areas with high foot traffic, the focus is on visual comfort and human-centric design. Austar's garden light series utilizes warm color temperatures (2200K to 3000K) and indirect, glare-free optical shielding. This reduces glare, supports public safety, and minimizes light pollution into nearby residential windows or local ecological habitats.
Coastal environments subject street fixtures to high humidity and corrosive salt spray. Austar addresses this by using low-copper aluminum alloys (such as AU6061-T6), followed by multi-stage chemical surface cleaning and electrostatic powder coating. This protective finish prevents corrosion and maintains cosmetic and structural integrity.
The following range of featured fixtures shows the collaboration between Austar's Chinese engineering teams and European industrial designers. Each model is built to balance clean product design with reliable structural performance.
Austar's housing components are made from high-pressure die-cast aluminum alloys, specifically structural grades like AU6061, AU6061A, AU6051, and AU6051A. These alloys balance silicon, magnesium, and copper to provide high tensile strength and fracture toughness. High-pressure die-casting at high tonnages minimizes internal voids, helping maintain an IP66/IP67 ingress rating over years of service.
Modern street specifications require precise control of light distribution to minimize light pollution and glare. Austar designs and manufactures optical lenses using UV-stabilized, optical-grade PMMA with light transmittance rates exceeding 92%. These optics support Type I, II, III, and V light distributions, allowing municipal planners to customize coverage for narrow sidewalks, wide highways, or open public plazas.
High LED junction temperatures can accelerate output degradation and color shift. Austar's thermal design features heat-dissipation fins cast directly into the outer housing to maximize air convection. The internal LED modules are mounted to metal-core PCBs (MCPCBs) using high-conductivity thermal paste to ensure low thermal resistance from the LED die to the housing, keeping junction temperatures below 75°C.
Austar luminaires can be equipped with standard NEMA 7-pin or Zhaga Book 18 sockets. These connectors allow municipalities to install wireless control nodes, ambient light sensors, and traffic monitoring systems. This integration enables central management systems to dim lights during low-traffic periods, track real-time power use, and receive automated maintenance alerts.
