Billiard Lighting and Game Room Lighting

Keep your eye on the eight ball with designer billiard lights.

From the drawing rooms of British gentry to the sports bars of American cities, billiards is a game with a posh pedigree. It requires skill and accuracy, so your billiard lighting is key to victory. Even if you prefer ping-pong, air hockey or Foosball, you should carefully select a specially designed billiard table light. We have collected a fine selection of billiard lighting and pool table lights at 1800lighting.com for your perusal.

The Anatomy of Game Table Lights

A well-lit game room is a busy game room, so be sure to install the right kind of billiard table light. Ideally, pool table lights will provide the directed wattage you need when lining up a tough shot without the reflective glare that challenges your accuracy. That is one reason traditional billiard lighting, such as many of the game table lights by Dale Tiffany, Landmark Lighting and Meyda Lighting, features a shade that concentrates illumination directly downward.

Also, pendant lighting is often best for a pool table light because you can position it at a precise distance from the game table for optimum visibility and adjust it if necessary. You wouldn’t want particularly tall guests to bonk their heads on the fixture or shorter guests to be frustrated by poor visibility. If you have cathedral ceilings in your home, you might want to add extensions when suspending your billiard table light to maximize its effectiveness.
