I didn't actually pull 750' of new wire, it was existing, but the feed had been cut by contractors building out the new Sports Authority store. The feed came up in a junction box and then went right back down and over to the lights I needed to supply. I simply ran the flex line from the pole to the Jbox with the appropriate wiring and hooked it up for 480v 3 phase. It looked worse than what it was lol, just a mass of wires. These light poles are always a mess. The working is like 40 years old, so anytime we have a lightening storm we have to rewire stuff cause the lines fry lol.
