how far should my pool table lights be from the pool table?
I am hanging lights above my pool table, and I am not sure how low they should hang from the table. Any suggestions? Or is there a regulation height from the table to the light?

as far as you want
24 inches or more
From WPA world-standardized specifications, no lower than 40 inches above the table:

15. Lights
...If the light fixture above the table may be moved aside (referee), the minimum height of the
fixture should be no lower than 40 inches [1.016 m] above the bed of the table. If the light fixture above the table is non-movable, the fixture should be no lower than 65 inches [1.65 m] above the bed of the table....
The shade should stop the light on the rail where it meets the cloth.
Use ambient light to light the rest of the room.
