Default kitchen circuits 15 amp vs 20 amp outlets


I don't consider a light *fixture* (e.g. a ceiling light) as an outlet, and
neither does the Code

I think if that were the case, they wouldn't use specific terms like
"receptacle outlets" and "outlets"

I don't think that's correct -- do you have a Code cite for it? I see
where
the Code prohibits other *outlets* on those circuits (e.g. in other
rooms),
but I don't see a prohibition against lighting.
