Technically, you're not supposed to have lighting on the same circuit
as outlets. It's a safety issue. The theory is if you pop the breaker,
you'll also be in the dark.

On the dead wires, code says you're supposed to remove abandoned
wires. But I also think there's a caveat that says "where practical."
If you wire nut them, tape and tag them, you should be ok.



Tell THAT to any electrician in North America and he'll have a good
laugh!!!!!
