Pool Table Lighting Installation: KB Electric LLC
KB Electric LLC has installed quite a few different types of billiard lights over the years. We recently just installed a new type of LED pool table light which prompted the writing of this blog. Pool table lighting should be enough lighting to spread across your entire pool table. The billiard lights should also prevent glare and help with the removal of shadows. Let’s take a look at some cool types of pool table lighting options, and discuss why we recommend hiring a licensed and insured electrician for pool table lighting installation.
Why Should I Get Lighting for My New Pool Table?
Illumination helps provide optimal light for precise game-play (eliminate shadows, helps with aim, etc.).
Billiard lighting transforms your pool table area into a pool hall look, making it aesthetically appealing.
Types of Billiard Lighting Fixtures
Single shade lights
Multi shade lights
Perimeter LED lights
Which Pool Table Light Fixture is Right For Me?
If you have a 6ft table or less, you’ll only need a 3-bulb fixture. A 7-8ft pool table should have 3 to 4 lights above it. Any pool table 9ft or bigger should have 4 to 5 lights. Other than that, the type you choose is totally up to you. It all comes down to preference of style, ranging from contemporary/modern to traditional and industrial. If you go with the perimeter LED style, you can forgo the number-of-bulb/light rule mentioned above because they make different sizes for specific sized pool tables.
