Lighting for 8' table

Hi Rick... this is my 8 1/2 foot table lit with a 3 light and 4000 K led bulbs. I have additional lighting in my pool room, but even with those low or off the lighting is great. Hope this helps you.

I have recessed lights in my living room
I replaced only half of them with led bulbs because they are so bright

Don't even remember which one's but from home depot were about 15 each

Someone here on the forum turned me on to these LED lights and I have basically the same light, except a 4 light fixture for a 9 footer. These are awesome!

Same as Linx, I have an 8.5' table, similar fixture, and use 3-shade fixture. Experimented with LED bulb wattage and color, and ended up with 8.5w, 840 Lumen, 5000K bulbs.

Height from slate to shade lip (almost exactly same fixture as Linx's photo) is currently 38", but in a previous house was 36" and either way had plenty of coverage / overlap and no funny shadows.

p.s., If you tend to take photos on the felt, like if you sell a lot of cues or something, while using a warmer color bulb may reduce over-brightness (if that bothers you), it will also change the color of the felt in those photos.
