An electrical contractor has to have a contractors licence. A home owner can work on his own lighting fixtures. In the fluorescent fixtures now there is a quick connect plug that allows maintenance men to change ballasts without having to have an electrical licence. For maintenance men to qualify they have to be shown the correct procedure to change out a ballast from a qualified licenced person. This is usually a certified electrician.
