Is it possible to create lighting devices family in Revit LT? When I create a new electrical fixture family, there's no option to change the family to lighting devices (see picture below). Also when working in Revit LT, there's no "Ligting Devices" Family Category option.
Also when working in project plan view, there's no "Ligting Devices" in visibility overrides window.
Is this limitation of Revit LT? I would just like to make basic lighting and receptacal floor plan, just for interior design needs - so I don't need other electrical features. But this is quite limiting.

Yah, you seem to be missing other categories as well. Did you download all content?
Yes, I downloaded all content. Even if I download a "Lighting Devices" family and place it in my project I still cannot see this category in Visibility/Graphics Override.
Thanks for trying to help, but the problem is not that there are missing templates or families. As far as I know, there isn't a family template for creating "Lighting Devices" Family. You have to start creating "Lighting Fixture" and than change the category in Family Editor. The problem is, that there's no option for me in Family Editor to change family category to "Lighting Devices".
The other problem is that in my projects I cannot work with "Lighting Devices" in Visibility/Graphics Override window. Even when I load family, that's categorized as "Lighting Device", I cannot see this category in Visibility/Graphics Override window.
I suspect this behavior is limitation of Revit LT, but I could not find confirmation in help files, so am asking here.
Do you have this:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2020\Libraries\US Imperial\Electrical\MEP\Connectors\Lighting Devices - Unbalanced Power Connector.rfa
Nope. I see on the comparison chart that LT doesn't have Electrical and Lighting Systems. Mystery solved I guess.
Yes, but that means that you cannot create circuits, electrical schedules etc. You can actually place, create and use Electrical and Lighting fixtures in Revit LT. It's just strange that Revit users would be denied to work with one Family category (Lighting Devices). It would be good if other Revit LT user could confirm this behavior.
Maybe you want to tag this thread with your support/comments? Good luck.
