You need to make sure nothing is in the way. For example, if you have a sofa or chair against the wall under a wall-lamp, the repairman will not be able to change the bulb.
Unlike the later games such as The Sims 2 on Windows. The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out had bulbs that burn out so you had ton replace them to they could light again. These games as well as The Urbz also had Sims turn on or off the bulbs. However, the problem lights can have is that you'll have to move the objects out of the way (e.g., Sofa against the wall with a wall lamp) to change the bulb.
In The Sims 2 onwards (excluding The Urbz: Sims in the City), you just click to turn on the light and they never burn out.
I remember it. One of the expansions removed it. But in The Sims 1, it was possible at one point to get electrocuted to death by changing a light bulb. It's so much harder to die in The Sims 2.

i don't know why Maxis/EA removed it both in TS1/TSO?

They probably removed the feature because they added ceiling and wall lights in later TS1 expansions, plus lights didn't have to be accessible by Sims anymore.

Ah, wait a minute - I could have sworn this was in the TS4 forum.

Who knows, maybe The Sims 5 could have lightbulbs that break.
