Roland, Is there an NFPA 13 equivalent to this for dwelling units? I ran into this on a hi-rise condo where we were trying to space our sprinklers 36" away from ceiling mounted lights. The bathrooms were to irregular shaped and evertime we tried to relocate the sprinkler from center of room we had shadowing somewhere.

It identifies that small shadowed areas up to 3 sf are not a problem. It also emphasizes that water droplets do not follow a linear path (like a beam of light) which jives with your wrap-around reference.
