LED Signs...ect. Wiring question

[JMPrinting]

I have a good knowledge of electric, went to school for it and comfortable. Is there a rule to what I can and can't do not being certified? Obviously I can run new service to a pole but what about using existing wiring, changing ballasts...ect. ?

If you don't have a sign contractors license, it's illegal for you to touch any sign that is electric.

If you do have one, all existing signs you are allowed to do everything from changing bulbs, to ballasts/power supplies, new wiring, replace timer/photocell mounting, replace signs, etc.
If no sign was ever existing (i.e. brand new building) you are allowed to mount the sign and hook up the electrical only if electrical is there to be hooked into. You cannot run a new circuit off the breaker, you cannot add a timer, etc. Once a certified master electrican does that, from then on, you have full control.

In california, with our C-45 electric sign contractors license, I can do anything with primary power within 6 feet of a sign.

Do you have the exact code that references the 6' from primary power. I've been looking for that and can't find it. I've also heard everything from 50' to only primary hookup to a power supply so I'm interested to see where this is actually laid out.
