    Oddly enough, a store operates even when you're not there. They have contractors or employees who work on things like changing light bulbs.  I was in a department store last month and an electrical contractor had a crew with a scissor-lift driving around inside the store replacing fluorescent tubes and various ballasts needing service.

    You can replace lights with the fixture in service. There's no current going thru the glass bulb surface.

    If a fault or inconvenience means they can't open then they won't, it's not a sworn legal promise to stay open all the time and due to unforeseen circumstances they can close if they have to.
