Fixture clearance

[karn]

I remember something about light fixtures being a minimum distance from sprinkler heads, just wondering is this was specifically referring to fluorescent lights or LED's as well, for example the sprinkler guys put all their heads right next to where all my lights go in the freezer's/coolers

If there is a minimum distance required it's not in the NEC. Maybe some will chime in with some other code.

I am designing a warehouse now and have the fixtures ABOVE the high flow heads. You must be sure to coordinate the electrical and sprinkler contractors up front so they work together and not against each other!

This requirement is not specific to type of light fixture. It has to do with inhibiting spray patterns.

It's NFPA 13 chapter 8

Bingo.

Does it still have those nice little charts?

and would apply to any object that inhibits spray pattern not just light fixtures.
