Yes sir, I have those bulbs to and they are great!
This bulb is perfect over my 8' GCIII
I have these globe lights in 100 watt - really diffuse the light, they're excellent.
Doug,
I would suggest sticking with fluorescents or replacing the guts with an 8'LED fixture.
I had a light in my office with four 4 foot fluorescents. I used LED replacements. They worked fine but they blew out the ballast in two years. I had to throw out the fixture and bought a new LED with the c8 bulbs.
I have same 3 light setup over 8 foot table. An old Lite Beer light from the 80's.
I was using 3 Cree 10 watt LED daylight but then moved up to the Cree 12 watt LED's.
The 10 watts were giving me 627 lux on the center felt, the 12 watts give me 782 lux as measured by my light meter.

I think you meant "lux". Lumens gives the total light output. Lux says how many lumens you get per square foot on the table surface.
Here is a long thread intended to be a resource for billiard-related lighting questions:
Lighting FAQ
After reading many questions on the forums I wanted to post this as a future reference in order to help answer any basic questions regarding lighting. I work in the lighting industry and wanted to help as there seems to be many basic questions...

Made the change. Thanks Bob.
I'm using this kind of LED bulbs for my table. Pretty happy with them.
They sell an 8' to 4' lamp conversion kit. Home Depot even sells a kit with 4 4' led lamps included.
Man those look perfect for my fixture. I might have to give those a try. I’m noticing some distribution problems. I think I could raise the fixture a few inches and install those LEDs. Do you have a link?

I see a lot of variation in HEIGHT ABOVE TABLE PLAYING SURFACE recommendations for lights. I have an 8' Diamond furniture model pending delivery .. and I built a light box with 4 * 4' LED tubes that have a total of 7500 LUMENS. Diamond recommends a light box height of 76" above the floor .. and I see a lot of recommendations for 40" above table height (table 32" + 40" = 72"). Any comments regarding optimal light height above the playing surface? Will be installing my light box next week. Thanks .. cannot wait.
This is one link, however check the better offer for you and best shipping time (just search for those key words). I got mine from Ali.Man those look perfect for my fixture.
