Can anyone tell me in detail the proper way to set the lights over a pool table?

My dad told me that lights above a snooker or pool table have a certain way they should be set. According to him, when the lights are set properly, you should be able to aim your shot by using the reflection of the light on the ball. He said that my grandfather, who used to run a pool and snooker hall, knew how to set them correctly before his memory started to fade.
