I, too, have pondered a similar concern. Went to replace a bulb in a sign the other day and it turned into a complete rewire for the three signs and the circuit feeder. Too many violations to let slide... To make a long story longer, I went to replace the bulbs in the first sign to discover that it had no fixture... the ballasts had been removed and only the sockets remained. The NM (replaced with UF) cable wasn't bushed or clamped in the entrance of the sign, (damp location) no EGC's etc, etc...
Just where am I allowed to stop fixing violations, or do we just rewire entire structures on bulb-change calls?
