A wise man once said, "a question well asked is a problem half solved", so I'll 
do my best. 
I have a bedroom in a 13R occupancy which measures 14'x16'. There is a 24"wide 
x 18" deep soffit around the perimeter of the room. I have a residential 
horizontal sidewall head in the soffit 12" below the ceiling along the 14' wall 
and a pendent head in the soffit just below.  
  
Here is the question: The distance from the sidewall head to the soffit at the 
far end of the room is 12'.  Since I am 6" above the bottom of the soffit, the 
minimum distance required by 8.10.7.1.3 (2010) is 13'. Do I need another head 
under the far end soffit?  It seems ridiculous, but what do you think? 
  
Thanks much.
