Centered between two rows of heads high enough to comply with 8.12.5.1.1 is always safe. Or I would add more than 3 ft down but that is my opinion only. If things more than 3 ft down mattered the storage would be an obstruction?

Unless of course they are storing lights. Lights could be stored to within 3 ft of the ESFR's so is a row of light fixtures more than 3 ft down an obstruction? Ron Fletcher Aero Automatic Phoenix, AZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 7:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ESFR's & Lights I've read through the archives and found similar post regarding ESFR heads and the obstructions caused by lights. Would it be safe to say in a situation where the owner wants to install 2'x4' suspended lights in rows in a warehouse that is protected by and ESFR system that either (A) the lights need to be installed above the sprinklers or (B) additional heads will have to be added under the lights?
