ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Bathroom Lights

I wired a bathrooms lighting circuit on a GFCI protected circuit.I also have a seperate 20 amp GFCI circuit for the plugs next to the sink.

Well the inspector doesn't want all the lighting on a GFCI circuit. He wants one light in the bath wired to another circuit seperate from the GFCI circuit that all the other lights are on.

Is there anything in the code requiring us to wire bathroom lighting like this? Maybe he is thinking of a old rule from a previous code...I can't find any rule in the 2002 NEC.
