Typical Dining Table (30″ tall): with an 8 foot ceiling, pendants look best when the bottom of the pendant is mounted anywhere from 63” to 66” above finished floor.
Dining Table: The recommended height to hang a pendant above a table is 28 to 32 inches, but the fixture can be hung slightly higher or lower depending on personal preference, fixture size and ceiling height.
Hallway Light Fixtures: Provide at least 18 to 24 inches of clearance between the bottom of a fixture and the height of a taller person.
Kitchen Island: pendants should be placed 28 to 34 inches above the countertop, or 72 inches above the floor.
Another tip in hanging pendants above an island or peninsula is to hang the fixtures high enough so that while standing you are not staring directly into the lights.
