This is the newest thing in pool lighting, it looks like a whiteboard or something, but really it's a light...
It's only 1/2" thick, weighs about 18lbs, and only draws 84W of power, but it gives off 4500 Lumens of pure, white light...
The room owner has hung them using thin aircraft cable, which gives them the appearance of just floating in mid air (very cool), but they can be hung in a variety of ways, and they fit into your standard tbar drop ceilings as well. They can also be hung way higher than standard lights, because they give off so much light.
Here's a ball sitting at the centre of the table, very clear edges, very soft shadow, and tons of pure light...
Oh and by the way each light panel is estimated to last more than 50,000 hours. For a room open say 18 hours a day, that's about 8 YEARS of uninterrupted use, and that's presuming you have your table lights on at all times.
Personally I was so impressed by their light output that I started repping them for the company (I posted a thread here, in the Wanted/ForSale forum, if you want more info there's a discussion there, or you can PM me here or email at brian_butler@hotmail..com. We've done a few quotes for some pool rooms and found that converting to LED, even just over the pool tables themselves, will save serious money on power bills. For the pool room we quoted on Friday with 14 9foot tables, converting to LED panels for lighting would save better than $400/month on power.
This, I think, is the future of pool lighting. If you're interested, send me a PM with the number of tables in your room and the sizes, and if possible include the types of lights you have now and the amount you are paying in kilowatts in your area and we can put together a quote that includes the estimated power savings.
Businesses around the world are moving to LED for their lighting, cities are going to it for streetlights, car manufacturers are going to it for headlights and taillights. Why? Because it's simply better, in every respect.
