How to calculate lighting fixture size above table

To calculate the size chandelier above your dining table or kitchen table: Measure the width of your table. Multiple by 75%. The fixture should be 3/4 width of the table

Hanging the fixture: Measure ceiling height, the light should be hung 30" above the table top.
