I work for the state (NY) and our maintenence crew replaces ballasts all the time. None of them are electricians. To install them as new fixtures, however, an electrician is probably necessary to meet the building's insurance requirements.

replacing a ballast is considered an appliance repair. and does not require a license under the NEC. replacing a fixture however does.

Don't know for sure, but to give an educated guess, I would say yes, the work you described should be done by a licenced electrician.

If you know what your doing and your doing it for yourself... no. If your doing it for someone else or working for an electrical contractor then the answer is probably yes.

You only need to be licensed if you are getting paid for it.
