Can Lights and outlets be on the same circuit

A simple answer is yes.

Depends on what the room is used for. Not in bathroom or kitchen.

The simple answer IS yes. Even in a bathroom under the right conditions.

Thing is, I don't like answering questions that are SO vague. There is never a truly correct answer, and to type out all the code variables is crazy.

So gdilis, can you give us some more detail as to what it is you are asking and why?

Putting them on the same circuit may work but if you lose the circuit, you are in the dark. Better to find another lead for the lighting and leave the outlets on their own circuit.

I agree with ma0641 but can't rate him for some reason, try again later. You can use the same circuit if you have to. If you can pull another cable I'd try to keep them separate.
