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.

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"


"Lighting Outlet. An outlet intended for the direct connection of a
lamp-holder, a luminaire (lighting fixture), or a pendant cord terminating
in a lamp-holder.

Outlet. A point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply
utilization equipment.
["An example is a lighting outlet or a receptacle outlet." Handbook
Commentary]

Power Outlet. An enclosed assembly that may include receptacles, circuit
breakers, fuse-holders, fused switches, buses, and watt-hour meter
mounting means; intended to supply and control power to mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, park trailers, or boats or to serve as a means for
distributing power required to operate mobile or temporarily installed
equipment.

Receptacle Outlet. An outlet where one or more receptacles are installed."

mind sharing which code you were referring to.

Why do you assume that I'm arguing with you. Did I hit respond to the
wrong posting?
