Best Answer

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.
