Pool Table Lights

1.  A pool table light needn't be as long as your table, just long enough to properly illuminate it. For 7-foot pool tables, common in bars and homes, lights are often 3 to 4 feet in length. For professional-length 9-foot tables, light sizes range up to 4.75 or 5 feet.

2.  When considering pool table light width, remember that standard pool table widths are 40 inches for a 7-foot pool table, 48 inches for an 8-foot table, and 54 inches for a 9-foot table.

3.  Traditionally styled pool table lights are a must when recreating classic pool hall decor in your own home. Single-shade pool table lights tend to offer a more nostalgic atmosphere than pendants, though round stained glass pendants look beautiful in tandem.

4.  Opting for a more modern style is one of the surest ways of finding unique pool table lights. Our island lights section features some strikingly original contemporary pool table lights in aluminum, polished chrome, and colored glass.

5.  Flip the light switch, and the Art Nouveau style of stained glass Tiffany pool table lights will grant you instant entry to a billiards hall of the late 19th or early 20th century. Don't worry: Prohibition didn't start until 1920.

6.  In game rooms that feature both a pool table and a home bar, beer- and beverage-themed pool table lights are the perfect way to tie the room together. Our trademarked brands include Coca-Cola, Coors, Killian's, Miller, and Budweiser pool table lights.

7.  The history of billiards dates as far back as the first billiard table in the 15th century - before that, it was played on the ground. Celebrate the legacy of this oldest of games with a traditional stained glass billiards light.

8.  What else are you supposed to do when it's not your shot than watch your favorite sports team on television? Display your team pride for all to see with sports-themed pool table lights featuring NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB logos.

9.  No, they're not called island lights because your pool table is the one thing you'd want if you were shipwrecked on a desert island … although we understand that some of us are very fond of our pool tables. An island light is a pendant-style light commonly used as kitchen island or table lighting.

10.  Glass lights versus metal lights isn't simply a question of fixture style. A stained glass pool table light fixture tends to create a more diffuse light or ambient glow, while metal fixtures create a more direct and downward-cast light.
