Properly placing your billiard lighting
is crucial when illuminating your game room. If they are hung too high, they can shine in
players' eyes. If they are hung too low, they can easily be hit during
play.
As a general rule, pool table lights should be hung about 32
inches above the bed of the table. A key thing to remember is that the fixture is not intended to provide lighting for your entire room, but rather to illuminate your pool table. The edge of the field of light should should line up with the edges of the table. You may need to raise or lower your fixture slightly from the 32" mark to achieve this effect.
These eye catching fixtures
hang over billiard tables and kitchen islands and provide style and
functionality.
If you need to install your billiard lighting prior to the arrival of your pool table, you should plan on hanging the fixture 60 to 70 inches from the floor.
When determining the size of the fixture, you'll want to consider the length of your table. Here are some guidelines to follow:
- 7 Foot Table: 40" - 57" Billiard Light
- 8 Foot Table: 48" - 60" Billiard Light
- 9 Foot Table: 57" - 83" Billiard Light
