First, the adapter has only 2 prong and NO GROUND, second the lamp is typically only energized when the sun is down, third, the lamp post sensor is NOT rated for motor type loads. Please do not do this.

I don't know about the safety of the screw-in outlets, but they do have ones with 3 prongs, and a piece of tape over the sensor will energize it. The OP didn't say he was going to plug in a motor. Wouldn't it be fine for additional lighting?
