You don't consider lighting outlets as "other outlets"?


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



It does in the 1999 codebook. "Outlet" is a term of the art
that means "thing that uses electricity". The term for
what you plug a cord into is "receptacle". Most of the time
it's a distiction without a difference.
