When I read the comment in the handbook it appears they are saying you can't install a screw shell lamp holder with the intent of using a 2-15 adapter in it. I don't see anywhere where it says you can't have a receptacle and a screw shell in the same device.
The real question might be how can U/L list the screw shell to receptacle devices in light of 410.47

OK, based on the above comments, and that the device is mfg, and it has a UL label, and there is NO NEC Article prohibiting use, it's acceptable.
OK, no winners in our local debate; no one can put a Code cycle on the 'supposed' outlawing.

Thanks to all!

Just because something is listed doesn't make it legal.

The current wording in 410.47 is in my 1950 NEC but, the next earlier one I have, 1940 list the different sizes of standard lamp bases. Some time during that ten years the Code changed. (As did much of the World) Not many places where the combination could be used unless it is on a GFI circuit. Alan--
Alan-- If it was easy, anyone could do it.

OK, 410.47 is again noted, but not the question.
Ryan, yes, we all agree, listing does not make it "legal".
I'm refering to the porcelain lampholder, with the 3 prong recept 'built in'.

Ryan What you are really saying is just because something is listed doesn't mean it is "approved".
