Factory Pre-Wiring Packages
This catalog has been designed to assist you in selecting a pre-wired
sports lighting system which meets your specific requirements or specifications.
American Sports Lighting offers two standard pre-wired sports lighting
systems:

System “ES-1” is a system used for an integrally ballasted lighting
system. Meaning the ballasts are located inside the light fixture and
all other electrical components are contained in a distribution / disconnect box at the base of the pole.

System “RBE” is a REMOTE BALLAST system. This UL Listed
system includes all of the ballasts for the specific number of light fixtures. The ballasts and all of the other electrical components are contained in a Nema 3R enclosure at the base of the pole.
Each of these systems can be configured to any voltage and/or phase.
Since American Sports Lighting does not manufacture lighting fixtures,
our systems have been designed to accept fixtures from any lighting fixture manufacturer. As with all American Sports Lighting pole products,
standard foundation options include Anchor Base, Stub Base, and Embedded.

System ES-1 or RBE
The American Sports Lighting pre-wired
packages are designed as an effective
means to deliver a high-quality, valueadded system to our customers. This
was accomplished while exceeding the
most demanding requirements of other
competitively-priced, flexible factory systems.
These packages are designed as a complete factory pre-wired and pre-aimed
sports lighting system. They enable contractors to easily assemble a factory regiment of manufactured components into a
state-of-the-art hassle-free system. This
is accomplished while maintaining an extremely competitive-priced system. All of
our electrical components are U.L. approved and are produced by leaders in
their respective fields of expertise.
The ES-1 Integral Systems can be configured for any voltage and phase, and an
optional multi-circuited configuration is
available. This system is designed to
accommodate any manufacturers’ lighting
fixtures.
The Remote Ballast Enclosure system is
considered the “gold standard” of factory
pre-wired packages. Moving the ballasts
to the base of the pole greatly simplifies
system maintenance.
