Recently acquired a “less than perfect” older fluorescent 7’ Diamond light. At $300, I couldn’t pass. Most of my funds have been expended on a minty GC1 table, not to mention the unnecessary but fun GC cue rack and GC chair/ashtray/drink holder setup. This light project seemed like an OK deal for the short term; despite the wood glue job needed. That said, my marginal handyman skills can, I hope, get it serviceable. Here are my inquiries:
1. It’s a 7ft light, the GC1 is a 9ft table. Would consensus agree that this will work? Internet knowledge would suggest that four or more lights between 65” and 70” would be acceptable. I’ve got that covered seeing as I’ve got two fixtures with four bulbs that measure 69” or so.
2. What would the ideal fluorescents be for this light? I’ve searched around the forum and there are varying preferences. The rest of my room is LED lit at 3000k….so a touch warm.
3. Per the pictures below, I’m missing baffles. Older posts here would suggest that these:

Are a solid replacement. Is this correct?
That pretty much covers my questions at this stage. I know that I should ideally switch out the fluorescent fixtures to LED, but my budget would dictate that we need to wait on that.
I greatly appreciate the input and apologize if I’ve asked a question that’s been answered several times already. I did try to search out old posts I swear.
