Littman Lights... are they worth it?

I just replaced my LCD panels with a Littman Light.
I needed the diffuser to keep the light on the table while not lighting up the whole room.
I recommend the Littman light.

Thanks, everybody, for your input. It's well appreciated!
FYI, I just ordered Littman's 7' x 2' Tournament Edition for my 9-foot Pro Am. It looks like Littman's factory is in Beaverton, OR, which is close to Portland... and not too far from me... as I am about 35 mi. north of Seattle. Looks like they're about two weeks out from placing the order.
I'll post a pic when I've installed the new light.

You like the Arena lights at Markley? Yuk, they are brighter than the sun and in your eyes the whole time.
Hope you're well bud but try looking at the table not up at the lights.
I think the lights do a great job illuminating the table.
The surrounding walls appear well lit.
Too well let for my liking, but hey I'm into function.
I've got a 4 table light bulb fixture with 4 bulbs, they put more Direct/light on to the play surface.
Seated players are not lit up.
In the pit at Janscos/Johnson City IL, they put a wrap around Black canopy down from the ceiling.... the lights would not interfere with the crowds viewing. It directed it to the table ''play surface'' that gave ABC Wide World of Sports the proper lighting for their shoot.

That's the new normal for some.
I bought a littman 7x2 last year for my 9’ table. Took about 10 weeks get it. It’s dimmable but not wired for from factory. Needs 0-10v dimmer switch if you want it dimmed. 5k color temp so it’s pretty white. I think it’s around 11k lumens. The egg crate diffuser is great. Minimal bleed to the rest of the room. My eyes don’t get strained during long sessions.
Mounting points are about 12” in from each end. Comes with a length of aircraft cable to hang it. Frame is extruded aluminum with t-track slots on the inside in case you need replacement parts. Fixtures on mine are 2x 2x2 and 2x 1x2 led flat panels. If they go out they’re easy to replace.

Hey you Philly guys, I’ll be in Philly 8/12&13. I’m tired of Mark kicking my a$$.
I'm driving up the 10th from Atlanta. IDK if I'll be awake by then. ha ha. Message me where and when you'll be free and I can send some of the boys your way if I don't make it.
Nice! They shine on the table, NOT in your eyes!
It blows my mind how in the world Arena and Perimeter lights took hold when they have no proper diffuser. It’s the sun in your eyes.
Btw most likely the reason they don’t is there is no off the shelf egg crate diffuser of the arena/perimeter shape. Those diffusers are commodity pricing due to the 2x2 and 2x4 LED panels. To put them on arena/perimeter would require a mold be built. Not only one mold, but possibly several, to accommodate the corner and the several light size options.
In contrast, the diffusers currently used by Arena/Perimeter are commodity sheet stock, that can be cut to the desired size.
We got stuck with the sun in our eyes due to no money for tooling.
