how high or low due to the light above the dining table be?

I just hung a new chandelier over my dining room table. I can not determine if high or low. I do not want to be high, so we're in a light bulb, but not so low as to be head banger. Does anyone know the proper etiquette for / suggested height of a light over a dining table?

I believe there is an appropriate label or rule. I agree with the 30 "above the table, I think that is mine is so high in my room. low enough to provide adequate lighting, but high enough to not interfere with sight lines across the table or leaning over the table to serve others (Think like Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas with a lot of people around the table.) will hang above a room feel more open, less will make the dining area a little more cozy.
