Q. How low to the table should a chandelier hang?
A. People often hang chandeliers too low--a definite conversation blocker. When they're placed too high, on the other hand,
lighting fixtures appear awkwardly unrelated to the furniture groupings below them. As a general rule for an 8-foot ceiling,
allow 25 to 30 inches between the table surface and the bottom of the light fixture. For each additonal foot of ceiling height,
raise your fixture 3 inches. [Better Homes and Gardens, 1995?}
