ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Kitchen Lights and Outlets On Seperate Circuits

I am not an electrictian, but I do have a coppy of the 1999 ICC 1&2 family dwelling code.

Section 4401.5.6:

"Other receptical outlets provided in the rooms and areas specified shall be provided by the small appliance branch circuits or other branch circuits."

I suspect that is taken directly from the NEC. If so, then the "other branch circuits" can have lights on them.
