Using the GFCI curcuits in the kitchen

[mid tenn elect]

Heres another one I ran into today. Customer wants another light installed in the kitchen. I know the code won't allow putting lights (or anything else) on the 2 kitchen GFCI curcuit. What if you tied your feed from the "line side" of a GFCI receptical, and feed your new light circuit that way ? The new light would not be on the GFCI curcuit, and it would remain just a GFCI circuit. No one would notice unless the breaker in the panel was tripped. Any thoughts?

The prohibition is not for GFCI circuits but for the two required small appliance branch circuits. The lighting can not go on either of those circuit regardless of what side of a GFCI they're fed from.

Any thoughts?

Violation 210.52(B)...plan and simple.

Do it right or don't - it's YOUR reputation, not mine.

If the "customer" wants it - then let them pay for a proper install.
