That’s why I am wondering why a lightbulb would be considered any differently from something, like a blender, for the purposes of this conversation about what needs a permit. Is the light socket substantially different from a wall receptacle in how the home owner can use it?

It seems odd that one would technically need a permit to change a lightbulb out from a fixture, but not unplugging and plugging in a new device to the wall outlet.

edit: saw your edit later, so you answered most of this.
