From the WPA rules:

15. Lights
The bed and rails of the table must receive at least 520 lux (48 footcandles) of light at every point. A screen or reflector configuration is advised so that the center of the table does not receive noticeably more lighting than the rails and the corners of the table. 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 intensity of any directed light on the players at the table should not be blinding. Blinding light starts at 5000 lux (465 footcandles) direct view. The rest of the venue (bleachers, etc.) should receive at least 50 lux (5 footcandles) of light.

But if you don't want to be all official about it, low enough so that the whole table is well lit, but high enough that they don't get in the way when you have to bend up and down to reach for a shot.

I suppose it doesn't really matter. When you go to take a shot you generally bend down slightly. I wouldn't keep them to low or to high, keep them in the missdle, so to speak.

Hope this helps.
