    In Canada and the US its considered a light fixture for the purposes of light for an area to have a switched outlet. You are supposed to plug a stand lamp in, in that area that can be controled by the switch. That’s how you can have a living room or hallway in a house with no light fixtures and dark as all hell.

      That’s still a wall switch that’s wired to an outlet. Some countries have switches on every outlet just built into them.
