Has anyone seen any information about residential (or other type) pendant sprinklers and oddly shaped ceiling lights? I am looking at an example where the light in the middle of a living room is essentially a 12" four sided pyramid with the base stuck to the ceiling, pointing down. Based on the chapter 8 obstruction spacing, a residential pendant would need to be at least 36" away from the light.
The picture in 13 lists a column as an example of what the obstruction might be. In the case with the light it seems like there would be much less of an obstruction- especially since it narrows as it moves away from the ceiling. I was curious to see if there were any guidelines or research on situations like this (or half-dome shaped lights, etc) that might allow heads to be placed closer.
