Why would you want to get rid of your ceiling light and what are going to do with the switch that operates it?
Don't switch it on.
Presumably you will use the old switch to operate the 2 or 5 amp sockets for the table lamp.
A ceiling rose or extra large conduit box lid would cover where the old light is, but removing the wiring, plastering and painting would look miles better.
Better still, consider keeping a ceiling light on a separate switch, so you can choose which lights to have on. The 2 or 5 amp sockets could also be switched separately too if you're really flash.
