What is the rule of thumb to size a light over a table?
I believe that there should at least four feet in between the light and the table because I have a table that has the light three feet from the table and I hit my head on the light all the time.
depends on the size of your dining room: if its big then in the centre and maybe a small one over the table but if its small then over the table. Also depends on the light : spotlights should be evenly spaced but hanging lights should be 2 to an average sized room, one over the table and one on the other end hope i helped because i asked my interior designer aunt :)
It is a nice light for over a cozy dinning table.
Hanging a pendant light can be worrisome because it can look bad when placed sloppily. When hung, the one should place only three lights over the table, 2 is too little while 4 is too much.

Generally, a light fixture should be hung about 30-36 inches above the table surface to provide adequate lighting and avoid glare or shadows. However, this can vary depending on the height of the ceiling and the size of the light fixture. It's also important to consider the overall aesthetics and functionality of the space when determining the hanging height.
The answer depends on (1) the type of lighting that you are referring to and (2) the wattage on the kitchen light. There are four basic lighting types for the kitchen --- (1) natural lighting, (2) accent lighting, (3) task lighting, and (4) general lighting. The mounting and type of kitchen lighting have effects on the overall kitchen style. Obviously, natural lighting is just light from the sun or skylights, and there are no mounting distance considerations. Accent lighting (aka mood lights) puts light over fixtures in the kitchen not covered by general kitchen light or natural light. Task lighting puts light where you need it to perform tasks and is typically mounted under-the-cabinet or recessed over a sink. General lighting typically refers to pendant lightings. And, those lights are typically mounted 2.5 feet above the center kitchen table and higher if the wattage is high. Some has also suggested that the height of the pendant lighting should be mounted just above the head when standing.

Forecast lighting can be a good choice for a kitchen as it provides even illumination across the space, which is important for cooking and meal preparation. It also offers flexibility in terms of brightness levels and color temperatures to suit different cooking activities. However, it's essential to consider the specific layout and needs of your kitchen to determine if forecast lighting is the best option for you.
