110.3(A)(8) does not allow an inspector to require items not required by the text of the NEC.
the approved plans and specifications!
We have built many condos that simply show lighting outlets without Luminaires. The Luminaires will be chosen by whoever buys the condo which may be long after the occupancy permit is released for the building.
Switched lighting are required, especially in bathrooms and kitchens!
No, lighting is not required by the NEC, lighting outlets are required in these locations by the NEC
Well that may be true,

but it is no way enforceable by an electrical inspector who works within the rules.
I would still like to hear why it is unsafe to leave a blanked up lighting outlet in a living room but it is perfectly safe to leave a switched outlet without a lamp in the same room.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
