Explore our engineering-grade architectural luminaires built to satisfy complex municipal photometrics and architectural environments.
Translating modern architectural demands into highly reliable, energy-efficient streetscapes.
Architectural exterior lighting is no longer just about visibility. Contemporary urban lighting plans must address Dark Sky compliance, circadian rhythm alignment, and architectural harmony. Modern post top light fixtures represent a balance of form and function. Historically reliant on high-intensity discharge (HID) and metal halide sources, municipal authorities and industrial park owners are executing full-scale retrofits to transition to solid-state LED systems.
As smart cities emerge, post top fixtures serve as nodes within the IoT network. Integrated NEMA and Zhaga connectors allow municipalities to manage energy profiles, execute remote dimming protocols, monitor fixture health, and collect ambient traffic and ecological data.

Addressing the strict compliance, engineering, and supply-chain demands of global enterprises.
European and American engineering projects require fixtures that meet safety and efficiency standards. Quality suppliers must hold valid certifications such as ENEC, CB, CE, LVD, and EMC. These certificates confirm that luminaires can withstand voltage fluctuations, maintain low electromagnetic interference, and operate safely in damp environments over lifetimes exceeding 50,000 hours.
Operating in coastal areas, extreme northern latitudes, or intense heat requires robust materials. Marine-grade die-cast aluminum housings (ADC12), electrostatic powder coatings resistant to UV damage, and high-impact polycarbonate or tempered glass lenses with IK08 to IK10 impact ratings are necessary to prevent ingress, corrosion, and structural decay.
Large commercial projects require reliable lead times, secure shipping arrangements, and solid warranties. Leading manufacturers near shipping hubs like Ningbo or Shanghai offer logistical advantages, enabling rapid transit from production to port, clear customs clearance, and reduced overall shipping costs.
Established in 2003, Austar Lighting Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer in Ningbo, China. Operating from a 10,000㎡ production facility with over 100 employees, we specialize in producing LED Street Lighting, Outdoor Garden Lighting, and Classical Urban Lighting Systems. Our annual production capacity exceeds 150,000 units.
Collaborating with Italian lighting designers helps us incorporate updated aesthetics and design innovations. This styling approach has supported our expansion to 55 countries and regions worldwide. We operate on a 100% export model. To verify that our products meet quality expectations, we use advanced testing equipment, including photoelectric integrating spheres, electric current testers, salt spray chambers, EMC test facilities, and LED driver aging machines.
We work to an ISO9001-14000 quality management system, and all of our models are backed by ENEC, CB, CE, and LVD certificates. We welcome OEM and ODM projects, offering customized products built to our customers' design briefs.
Addressing thermal management, optical distribution, and smart integration for municipal projects.
Heat is the primary cause of LED degradation. Our post top light fixtures feature integrated heat sinks with thermal pathways that draw heat away from the LED chips. This keeps junction temperatures low, supporting high lumen maintenance (L90) and stable driver operation even in high-temperature environments.
Roadways, walkways, and open plazas require different light patterns. We provide Type II, Type III, and Type V optical distributions. These distributions direct light where it is needed, reducing light spill, glare, and unnecessary energy consumption while optimizing pole spacing.
Our fixtures support NEMA and Zhaga bases for photocells and smart control nodes. This integration allows municipalities to configure smart street lighting systems with remote monitoring, motion detection, and automated dimming, helping to optimize energy use and maintenance schedules.
High-pressure die casting, automated assembly, and laboratory testing under one roof.
Our manufacturing plant features 1000T, 700T, and 300T high-pressure die casting machines that produce raw aluminum housings with minimal porosity. Combined with our fully automated electrostatic powder-spraying line, we apply protective layers to the metal housings to prevent corrosion in humid or coastal environments.
We operate three manual assembly lines and two dedicated LED driver and chip aging lines. Each fixture undergoes rigorous testing at full power for several hours to eliminate early-stage component failures before shipment. Our in-house testing lab includes a darkroom, goniophotometer, spectral analyzer, high/low-temperature chamber, impact tester, and waterproof testing equipment.
Developing next-generation luminaires designed to meet future smart city and environmental standards.
Our upcoming product lines focus on minimizing light pollution. By offering amber LED options (CCT down to 2200K) and utilizing precise optical shielding, our next-generation post tops will meet the strictest global wildlife conservation guidelines and Dark Sky standards, protecting local ecosystems from nocturnal disruption.
As circular economy regulations become standard, we are optimizing our production line to use 100% recyclable aluminum alloys. Our modular housing designs allow for tool-free maintenance and quick component replacement, extending the operational lifespan of the fixture housing indefinitely.
We are developing off-grid solar-powered post top luminaires that integrate high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels with compact LiFePO4 batteries. Built with intelligent power management systems, these off-grid solutions will provide reliable lighting through extended cloudy periods.
