Can I just wire up a bulb holder for an LED light and 5 amp plug and just plug it into a 13 am socket?

I presume you mean plug into a 13 amp socket in the shed, not running an extension cable from the house.

I'd be impressed if anyone can get a 5 amp plug into a 13 amp socket. 5 amp plugs are the old fashioned ones with round pins.If you mean a 13 amp plug, then it should have a 3 amp fuse for a single lamp, not 5 amp.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.1
