I received the following question via emailand thought it would be good to post here. It appears to me that work beyond repair or replacement of the lighting assembly itself would be out of the scope of licensing, however I recall recently the board made a statment that SIGN contractors are permitted to perform concrete / foundation work for the purposes of supporting a sign.
WHAT SAY YOU?
Good afternoon Sir, I hope you can help me answer a question. My question is can a Lighting Maintenance Specialty Contractor replace the poles supporting a parking lot light fixture? Is that within the scope of licensure as defined by FAC 61G6-7? I look forward to your reply.
