Reverted title to include the word "outlet", which is key to the question. Removing "outlet" from the title makes the title misleading.

Do I really need to include a lighting outlet in every room?

According to the Black & Decker Wiring book, the NEC indicates that each room should include at least one "switch-operated lighting outlet". Is that true even in rooms that have overhead lighting, or does that count as the "outlet"?
