Apart from the lack
of earth and indeterminate polarity you need to remember that
lighting circuits are usually fused at 5amp for the entire circuit
and so the amount of power you could draw is very limited.

I was in a house recently which had small round pin sockets (in the lounge)
wired via the lighting circuit. They were controled by the light switch and
designed to run table lamps. Quite a nice idea, one click of a switch & all
your table lamps come on.

Is that still legal?
