Even though there is no definition of 'lighting outlet', I believe the intent is similar as in receptacle outlet. Meaning the NEC expects some type of lighting luminaire/lampholder to be installed in the lighting outlet.
Article 100
Lighting Outlet. An outlet intended for the direct connection of a lampholder, a luminaire (lighting fixture), or a pendant cord terminating in a lampholder.
Notice it states "intended", it does not state "equipped with"
The 2002 NEC use the word Luminaire over 250 times, why not here in 210.70?
I still do not see a place where the NEC requires illumination except for section 210-70(A)2(b) as Trekkie pointed out.
