I saw a perimeter style light in one of the groups recently that was about $300 on Amazon, marketed for garages and such. I can't find it now for the life of me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link?

Edit: This is it, thanks Slateman: https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Rect...ork+linear+light+series,tools,113&sr=1-4&th=1

Just went there and searched 'led perimeter garage lights'. Wow, that's a DEEP rabbit hole. Had NO idea all that stuff was out there.
 
I have a similar version from this company in white. I love it.

Yes! That’s the one!

Does it have a grate style diffuser by chance?
 
I think that I will go with the original Perimeter Light company for my pool table light once I buy a table in my new home. I would hesitate to buy an Amazon offered light- yes it is cheaper- why? why? --sorry but investing thousands in a table and then paying an electrician to do a correct overhead light install- I would hesitate to just grab any light off Amazon just bc it is much less expensive.

Everyone can choose to do whatever they want- not knocking anyone's personal decision - but after living a long time you learn that cheaper is rarely better, sometimes- but not too often-- especially when an install is involved- for the do it yourselfers- do you really want to end up doing it twice; way before it should need to be done again?

IDK- maybe someone here can firmly attest that an amazon perimeter light is the same or better than the Perimeter light that has been tried and true in the billiard world-- one cost $321 and the original Perimeter nine foot is about double that price-- again WHY?

I've played under Predator lights and I cannot tell a difference in the quality. For me, it was worth the money to purchase one of these and install it myself. I already had a plug in the ceiling.

Perimeter light is garbage. It blinds you. I wouldn’t take one for free.
 
dont over obsess on lights look what you have to play with when you go out.

less bright is far better than too bright.

I wouldn't order something like this from Amazon unless it was a Prime listing (free, no issue returns). These lights are very delicate, large to ship and many packages are damaged these days during shipping.

You can buy a Perimeter light with a dimmer. How is the Amazon light any different - how does the Amazon light not blind you? They both can be obtained with dimmers. Thousands swear by the Perimeter Billiard table light- I see them at all the European tournaments on TV- just asking bc I want to make a good decision myself in the near future. Thanks
 
I'm probably a bad person to get advice from. I also did the Epoxy on the floor myself to save some coin. I have the coin. I just like to learn new stuff and do it myself.
