What is the rule of thumb to size a light over a table?
The kitchen is an area in which you complete a task. As a result, the most important type of lighting in a kitchen is task or funcational lighting. Two other forms of light needed in kitchens are ambient and decorative.
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.
The specific height of a light above a table depends on the purpose of the table. It is recommended that a light be about 30 inches above a dining room table and about 18 inches above a gaming or work table.

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.
