I have a 9' table that is also a dining table. For reference a shot is below that shows it both ways. In my current house I have cans in the ceiling with eyeballs that light it reasonably well. I am moving. The new house is styled differently, and the room will be a lot smaller, so that the table will be the primary thing in the room. But it also must be a dining room.
I do not want a "classic" style light over it, as that will look a bit silly as a dining table. I also think I want a great big fan in the ceiling, up high (this is Florida), and do not want the light to shine through it, so I am thinking not to put lights in cans for it.
Here's what I am thinking: Put in a fan with light hookup below (the house is pre-wired for that anyway). Find a fixture that will then mount in the fan, hang down a foot or two, and be a long, modern looking .... something... with nice bright (dimmable) LED's that I can use for pool or for dining.
I am finding a few, like this:
https://www.houzz.com/product/31944821-ram-gameroom-54-3-shade-billiard-fixture-contemporary-pool-table-lights
that look like the right concept, at least I think I could mount that on a fan (would need a bit of mating-up work perhaps, but the point is that it's a single point of attachment).
And a couple of wild looking ones like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Stepless-Dimmable-Chandeliers-Pendant-Lights/dp/B07LDT11TM/ref=sr_1_14?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1546207943&sr=1-14&refinements=p_n_feature_browse-bin%3A5676449011
But nothing much I really like. Has anyone run across something of this ilk? A supplier that might have interesting choices?
By the way, worst case I give up on the fan, that gives more options for the ceiling mount, but I still want something that would be higher and less like a "pool light" that would still be a good pool light?
Here's the table for context. This is the old house; so ignore the colors and style there, in fact I'll probably change cloth color as well when I move to be a colder color - lots of grey and stainless and cool colors in the new place.
Thanks in advance,
Linwood
