Proper pool table lighting is essential no matter what style or size table you own. It is important to select a light fixture specific to pool table illumination as the beam should be strong enough to eliminate shadowing without straining the eyes, and preventing heat damage to a pool table. A rule of thumb is to hang your pool table lighting fixture approximately 32 inches above the table surface.

The pool table lights should also compliment the overall style and motif of your game room. Stained glass lights are very popular as they offer strong transparent illumination and style to a room. The fixture should also be placed high enough to light the entire area of the pool table, but low enough as not to create a sharp overpowering glare to the eye.

Give your game room the look and feel of a traditional pool hall by hanging popular brand name lights above your pool table. The power of the internet has taken the footwork out of trying to find that rare piece to compliment your table. Popular brands such as Budweiser, Nascar, Heineken, Miller Lite, Harley Davidson, Miller, and Coca Cola all carry a beautiful selection of pool table lights available to purchase online.  

It is strongly recommended that a professional pool table light installation company is contracted to perform the installation of your pool table lighting fixture. Avoid damage to your pool table, your table lights, your home, and to yourself.
