You might want to check FM DS 2-0 (Table 3 - Page 15) for reference.
Have not come across any guideline related to Ceiling heights and K factor in NFPA though.
Size of the opening is < 1000 Sq ft. , Window Sprinklers were spec'ed by the Architect to maintain the rating of the wall.

EOR won't accept any deviations...
TravisMack- You're correct,Those are similar points I included in our proposed solution to resolve the issue but they don't want to lift the lights tight up to the deck because as you said, it will have shadows due to bar joists below.
Now I can't use the Table 8.12.5.1.1. We have been...
