Abstract: An improved mast lighting system of the type including at least one mast having a proximate end and an opposite distal end, the distal end capable of supporting an electrical component and the proximate end mounted to a foundation that has at least a portion extending into the ground, an electrical cable within the mast connecting the electrical component to a distribution component assembly through an electrical connector, and a power source connected to the distribution component assembly. The foundation has a chamber therein of sufficient dimensions to receive the distribution component assembly. The distribution component assembly is disposed within the chamber. The mast defines an opening therein adjacent the proximate end, in communication with the chamber. Thus, the distribution component assembly is protected from collision damage by the foundation, but is accessible to the user through the opening in the mast.
