Light Dimensions - Help

[mkjj123]

I'm looking for confirmation of dimensions of a custom light before finishing it.

Building a hanging light for over a 9" Diamond. I've read the light over a 9" table can be up to 80" long and want to confirm. It will have 4 pendant lights with the overall outside dimensions to the outside of the light shades being 22"x76". Planning to hang it 31" or 32" inches over the table.

Are these dimensions ok? I don't want to be hitting my head on them.

Greatly appreciate your comments. Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Michael

Take a look at the info on these pages for dimensions of the lights and the height above the table.

Your light would be too low.

15. Lights
The bed and rails of the table must receive at least 520 lux (48 footcandles) of light at every point. A screen or reflector configuration is advised so that the center of the table does not receive noticeably more lighting than the rails and the corners of the table. If the light fixture above the table may be moved aside (referee), the minimum height of the
fixture should be no lower than 40 inches [1.016 m] above the bed of the table. If the light fixture above the table is non-movable, the fixture should be no lower than 65 inches [1.65 m] above the bed of the table. The intensity of any directed light on the players at the table should not be blinding. Blinding light starts at 5000 lux (465 footcandles) direct view. The rest of the venue (bleachers, etc.) should receive at least 50 lux (5 footcandles) of light.
