Light sockets

Something that has puzzled me for years.


Bayonet cap and Edison screw light bulbs can be removed without tools thus exposing potentially live terminals and presenting a distinct shock hazard.  made worse by the fact that you often need to stand on a chair to remove the bulb.   There are millions of these installed yet the regs seem quite happy with the situation.
