My lamppost has 3 candelabra bulbs, and I don't need to remove the top cover to replace the bulbs. They are accessible from the bottom. And, they do sell screw-in outlets with 3 prongs for candelabra sockets. I'm not saying that you should use them, but they are available. It seems to me that you would use the exterior wall outlet to operate motorized equipment. But, you could use a screw-in outlet for temporary Christmas lights or other lighting. That is, if they are safe.
