On the good side -- the light when assembled is solid, easy to hang and level, no sag, the lighting is even between segments throughout the dimming range, and the dimming range is decent (it would be nice to go a bit lower, but it is a really goodly range). It uses a 0-10v dimmer which would...

I am remiss in updating this. The deciding factor for me (between Perimeter and Lite Systems) was color temperature. This room will be in my home where all lighting is in the 2300-3000K range, and a cold bluish light would have been quite out of place. And the Perimeter system was not...

I keep staring at all this. I took down the ceiling fan that was there in preparation and started measuring; I have to ducts in the way of where I might want panels. I was thinking of three panels in an "H" but they won't fit (at 2x4 panels) around the ducts. Three across (4' direction across...

Thank you @Badpenguin

For clarity are you speaking of the pool balls or.... You guys are starting to make me think of those LED panels. I'm wondering if just sticking 4 of them up on the ceiling (it's only about 7.5') might be as good and MUCH cheaper.

That's a big itty bitty if so. :oops:

It's not that separate really, about 1/3rd of the long wall opens (no door) to the dining area and kitchen. I plan to put a large wall TV on a wall between dining room and kitchen that faces the pool room, so I can see it if I'm cooking or eating by myself, and it can be the TV if people...

Moving to a new (to me) house with a 9' table. Need light. In doing a lot of reading I see lots of recommendations for Perimeter, and some for Lite Systems, but few comments from people who have had or seen both. I'm considering the Perimeter 9' and the Lite Systems RectanGi (rounded I...

Another member of the Scott Lee fan club; definitely can't go wrong there.

Bear in mind that anything that is a "polish" is an abrasive. That's how polishes work.

It's interesting there are zero reviews on Amazon. For that price the vendor ought to be able to give you references, hopefully someone within driving distance who might let you look. Maybe you'll also get luck and find a mechanic who will install it who might go with you (for $$) and take a...

If you mean in mine, the table is a conversion. So the whole design is aimed at keeping out of the way of people who may sit -- the legs go way out to the corner and straight down, the sides have minimal vertical dimension. The side rails LOOK really strong, about 1 5/8" solid wood with a...

Sorry, of course these all connect to the sides and ends. I guess I was interpreting your comments that there was some more continuous support along the edges of slate and they mostly hung loose in the center. This just seemed different. Not suggesting how things ought to be, just trying to...

I have no pre-conceived ideas, but I do have a table I would like to understand better. It's that photo on the first few pages. Are you saying that generally speaking slate is supported around the perimeter? So slate at the end would be supported on the sides and end of the table? My table...

Well, sure. For that matter it's all carried ultimately by 48 square inches of floor. :rolleyes: I was just offering another photo, I'm certainly not competent to comment on design. I'm just happy whoever designed it, and the guys that installed it, seemed to make it all work right and the...

If you want to see another style, steel long beams, wood across.

All these type of photos originate in a story that begins "A Florida man...."

I get that, I am just saying that alcohol doesn't seem to impact their ability to attract families and kids. It may even enhance it. And FSU just announced they will sell alcohol at their college games (not exactly a young person activity but still youth). Definitely different in both cases...

Depends on the age of the kid perhaps, and what kind of event, but somehow bowling alleys serve alcohol (many/most do) and yet attract kids events. I can't recall ever hearing someone say a bowling alley was a bad place for a kid. And yet somehow they manage to have leagues and other adult...

I know it's different in some areas of the country, but here pool venues are basically smokey bars. This presents two challenges, and I think it feeds a declining spiral. The first is that most parents won't send their kids off to have fun at them because it feeds into the perception of "not a...
