Chanukah candles are meant to be placed low down, near the ground. Preferably they should be placed within 10 tefachim (approximately 30-40") of the ground. Why is this?
The reason is because we want to instill the idea that the light of God is not only found in the highest of places. We all know that there are places of greatness where holiness is easily manifested and found. The message here, however, is that even in the lowest of places, and the darkest situation, God can be found and the light of holiness can shine.
