What is the recommended distance between the bottom of a hanging light fixture and a table?
It depends upon the situation, however 32″ is a good place to start. Helpful Hint: Take a string and tape it to a shape of a shade/globe made from cardboard, then tack or tape the string to the ceiling where you want the light fixture to hang. Adjust the string to different heights, then leave it there to live with for a while. Watch for vision blocking or positions where a head could come into contact. This will help you determine the right height for your custom fixture.
