Was considering on making my own pool table light using 8' florecent light bulbs. I was wondering if there a plans out there on the internet. I tried searching but couldn't find much. Thanks
Does anyone have more ideas on DIY pool table lights for a 9 footer?
What do you have for tools? I have a couple options for you
Tools I have. Ideas I need.
I have a black Gold Crown with bright metal work.
Thanks Jason and Book.
Get a woodworker (furniture) to build you a cabinet.Something like 6ft x2-1/2ft .I would go 4 to 6 inches deep.He can dowel in a groove inside for the plastic defuser.You can instal light fixtures inside and hardware to hang the light.
I don't know where you will find the defuser screen but I have found it online before.
Mine is done with 8ft bulbs, six of them. Made for me by a friend.
Where does one find the kind of light diffusers that Diamond uses? Or Brunswick?
All I typically see at the home improvement stores are those flat, thin ones that were popular for bathrooms and kitchens decades ago. I think those block too much light. Don't like the way they light surfaces. The Diamond ones are like a square grid - the idea is to spread the light around, but there's still plenty of direct light. The flat sheet ones get no direct light from the bulbs.

They have the ones you are talking about at either Lowes or HD (can't remember which, maybe at both). I've seen them. They're actually plastic grids that are coated a silver/chrome. I think they come in 4 foot lengths so you would obviously need two of them for an 8' light. So you need a cross member in the middle to support the two pieces.
Very nice set up. :thumbup:
May I ask what cue case you have there?
