I'd be interested to hear your reasoning for this. My simplified code
book suggests otherwise for general outlets (not appliance or special
purpose outlets):

"It is better to have the load consist of a mixture of lights and plugs.
This gives better load diversity on the circuit and less chance of a
complete blackout in case of circuit failure."



Considering "less chance of a complete blackout in case of circuit
failure", don't put all the lights in the house on ONE lighting
circuit.
