The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not mandate the separation of lighting and power circuits. The Villages, combines these circuits.

Nevertheless, this may be required in other areas as it is generally considered best practice to separate these circuits, particularly in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. Separating circuits enhances safety and convenience.
