My main concern was that some uprights are spaced directly above the lights and 
it appeared that there was a large dead space below, but it appears the 
consensus is that it is ok with upright only.
Thanks again guys.

 have always looked at the width as being the shortest side. Take for instance  
' wide duct that is 15' long. Is it really 15' wide and 2' long?

bject: 2'x4' Light Obstruction
 have a situation where I have an open ceiling tiled hallway and there are 2' x 
' light fixtures. According to NFPA-13 (2007) Sec. 8.6.5.3.3 it seems I need 
verage under a 4' wide fixed obstruction. My sprinklers are 5' above the 
ghts. Do they need to have ceiling tiles in place around it or is there a 
lution I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
