Hi Nick,

there is more to this issue than you are showing, firstly some habitable spaces require fixed lighting rather than switched outlets, secondly; area like attics and crawl spaces also require lighting (and receptacles) if they contain servicable equipment (HVAC for example).

Regards

Gerry

That's really pretty simple, I think.

Outlets are any point where power is obtained for fixtures and appliances, including receptacles and lighting.

Receptacles are installed at outlets. . .

Nice responses from from great inspectors. But what happened to the electricians that used to jump on questions like this within minutes?

I believe the attempt was to convey the requirements of 210.70 only. If I were to say add something then I would mention in regards to the RED area, not just storage but also "Equipment Space" as well.
