This angle is from the rack side. The dead center of the table will be slightly off from hanging wires (further from the dartboard) to allow for proper cue movement). The table will have about a foot from bumper edge to where the lights start. Right now I have 90W, 1295 Lumen, 2700K BR40s installed for testing, but would upgrade to 4000K with more lumens or possibly swap to adjust able fixtures.
I had a similar issue. My wife has the vision of a common pool table light. That was a definite NO GO!!! I didn't want a Budweiser lamp either but was looking at Diamond and at the time Gabriel had a really good light I thought I could take apart and mount flush. That wasn't going to be in her house either. No matter what!
Who am I to argue, She heads up the Interior Design division for an Architecture firm.
Well I did have one argument. My table must be lit properly. That means bright and as best as possible I need minimal amount of shadows.
OK, you find a lamp, and I'll OK it.
She found the one in the photo. Fine, tell me the lighting pattern. She went to the Engineers and they sent her how this fixture would illuminate a 5X10 table.
I gave the OK even though the corners were weaker. The peripheral can lights were always in my plan. The pool hall I go to has table lights plus ceiling lights. Always thought that was a good plan for reducing shadows.
