My poolroom uses Predator Arena lights.
They are terrific.
Check into them also.
I like them better than Littman.
They cast a better light to my mind.

Thanks... I'll check them out as well.

Wood doesn't move only coz the environment is wet, it can be dry too

You people with your dry packs mightt be drying what shouldnt be drier.

any reason you dont want a diamond light for your diamond pool table?
i am happy with mine
i have no experience with littman or predator

The main reason is Diamond Lights were designed quite a long time... perhaps 30+ years (?)... and pool table lighting technology has continued to advance. Additionally, I want a more lightweight design that makes it easier to install. I don't have the weight numbers for Diamond's 9-foot light but I'm confident that it weighs well more than 35 lbs., which is the weight of Littman's 9-foot light.

Re lighting technology advances, some lighting manufacturers now feature dimmable, blue tooth connection and remote control... none of which that I want.

As jr. said, unfortunately much of this was preventable and like most things, wins are engineered/ planned, not random.

If you're gonna do it, do it right!

As far as the current issue, was it ever talked blabout that he would sent 2 cues? Maybe it could be that any surprise items not agreed upon can't be claimed?

I think you either suck it up and pay the guy or make him file a claim with the shipping company. I like the claim thing coz then you have a party that has experience with these things and will respond in the way that is normal.

I do NOT like throwing him partial cash for the item

No experience with Littman, but fwiw we're in the very early stages of a remodel to add a pool table. A close friend has this that we're leaning towards.

I like that it's dimmable and that the color/temperature is changeable. Something not all others offer.

Very reasonably priced too.

Id ike to see a 200+ pt round robin with jaspers, caudron, tasdemir, cho, j.t. Kim and h.j. Kim.

You may not like this, but . . . Why not send direct to refinisher? Need for you as a middleman? What do you get out of it?

You need to decide if you are running a business, if so . . . record keeping (better) needed, correspondence (better) needed, and require contents lists on all packages. All correspondence needs DETAILS -- not only "what" but "how many". Photos are worth many words.

As the middleman, I would put a lot of this on you, but refinisher is not off the hook. Cue owner does not love his cues as much as I love mine. Refinisher needs to send confirmation of receipt.

Live and learn (get better at it).

You must have missed the 600-point match where Caudron beat Jaspers, 600-500!

Didn't see it but heard about it

At the risk of saying something I never did say before ..Dick is still the best.

I know it is only to 40pt, jasper wins a LOT and has been doing it for a long time

I'm torn though, coz if we are basing it on world cups, blomdahl is the clear king.

The picture is kind of dark. Is that a Longnose sawshark imprinted on the butt cap?
