    I hope it is not higher than 20 cubits, according to R’ chaim noa a cubit is 48 cm (a drop less than 19 inches) If it is higher than 32 feet it is posul.

    Rabbi Simon actually announced that it is the maximum height to be yoitze, just under 20 amos. He also said that people should be aware that they are NOT yoitze the mitzva with this lighting.
    At any rate, it was a wonderful occasion and a great kidush Hashem.
