Non-concur - You now have a combustible concealed space. Well, caveat of I don't know of a translucent panel that meets the definition for the exceptions. So which exception of '10-13-8.15.1 do you think it meets to eliminate the head?
I admit to being nit-picky, especially the smaller the sky-light. But I have seen 30' x 30' rooms with translucent panels in place of typical ACT. Not so nit-picky in those cases.

Regards Colin Taylor Sent from Samsung Mobile on O2 -------- Original message -------- From: Mike Hairfield <[email protected]> Date: To: [email protected] Subject: Skylights I have a project where the skylights are more than 32 sq.ft. in area which normally would require sprinkler protection, my project has a translucent panel attached at the roof line sealing off the skylight thus eliminating a ceiling pocket. My thoughts since there is not a ceiling pocket then sprinklers would not be required for this type of skylight. Any opinions?
