Consider how low your lights should be as to avoid potentially hurting someone. You can easily find yourself hitting your head or having a member of your family or guest hitting themselves. Adding to that is the heat radiated from the bulb, which makes it even more dangerous.
Bottom Line

While having a low hanging light fixture can create a romantic atmosphere, you have to realize that it could potentially hurt you or someone sitting at the kitchen table. Just be cognizant of any low hanging light in the dining room and always remember to opt for a higher suspension.
