Licenced electricians need to wire to code, sign off on the job, and
give the property owner and the town's code enforcement office
a certificate that satisfies the fire underwriters. Failure to do so
the electrician will lose their license.

Not only are you eerily weird you are also dumber than deer scat. if
hard wired you definitely have a switch for that outdoor lighting...
or it's those low voltage lighting fixtures on an extension cord
installed by the homeowner... low voltage circuits like doorbells and
thermostats are on a small transformer (about the size of a deck of
cards) that's typically mounted near the circuit breaker panel.
