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.

The size of sockets for light bulbs are engineered so that you can't place a street lamp sized bulb in your bedroom light fixture. There's a reason why your Christmas lights use 120V but you can't use a regular light in them
