Do US or continental wall warts plug into 5 amp round pin sockets
intended for lighting ?.


There is no such thing as a 5A socket in Europe but
continental wallwarts fit sockets both for the 2-pin 2.5A
'Europlug'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

as well as the standard 16A Schuko or its French/Belgian
variant.

You may encounter 6A versions of the Europlug and matching -
usually multiple - sockets but they are not defined by any
standard.

No idea what they do in the US
