Hanging light fixtures are used to hang pendant lights. The pendant lights look beautiful if good-looking models are used and the models are selected such that they go well at the given place of installation. If you manage to hang the pendants fixed at the right height, then the lights are used most effectively.
So to best use the pendant lights, one needs to understand the right heights to fix the lights. To understand what the right height of your hanging light fixture is, you need to first decide the place where you are going to install the light. There is no single unique height that is considered to be ideal - the ideal height depends upon the location of fixture.

One basic premise has to hold true in every case. The fixture has to be such that the hanging light must cater enough brightness at the points of interest, but must not get in the way of free movement. If you can ensure this at all the places that you install a hanging light fixture, you would have done your job well.
It is generally observed that in case of a dining room, one wants to place the lights such that it is around 3 feet above the dining table. If your dining table is around 30 inches (2.5 feet) high, then the bottom of the light fixture would be around 5.5 feet above the ground. This would be low had you been walking along the place, but once your dining table comes directly below the pendant fixture, the height of hanging of the light is just right. It illuminates your dining table but provides enough space for movement below it.
In case you are hanging the light fixture in a bathroom, staircase or entry gate, then the recommended height of the bottom of the fixture is 7 feet from the ground level. In case of kitchen, you would want to focus a little deeper without stressing your eyes. So the suggested height is anywhere between 6 to 6.5 feet in this case. For a study table, the bottom of the hanging light fixture should be at a height of around 2.5 feet from the table surface.
The other point to make a note of is that the heights mentioned in this article are assuming that you and your family members are of an average physical height. In case of any exception on either side, you shall have to adjust the heights accordingly. Also, please note that in case you have a home with high ceilings, you may have to use long hanging fixtures so that the lights come down enough for you to get a good enough vision with ample brightness.
