I got my table about 6 years ago and I can probably count on my fingers and toes the number of times I've actually played on it. As I was cleaning it tonight, I think I finally realized why I don't like to play on it. The lighting is terrible. I didn't know any better when I got the table, but I'm pretty sure the light I bought is probably supposed to be for an 8' table. I know the billiards supply place I bought it from said it should be good enough for a 9' table, but its not. Its horrible and the shadows are terrible! The light consists of only two 4' flourescent bulbs.

I'm pretty sure I need a better lighting system, so I've started to look around. Mostly everything I see on the web are the lamp kind of lights. I don't want that. I want a light like the nice Diamond lights that is a box of lights as wide as the pool table itself. Anyone know of a place I can get one used? If not used, where can I get one new? Or something at least comparable to that light. I want to try to find something locally so I don't have to spend a ton of money on shipping, but at the same time, I'd prefer to NOT have to go thru my local billiards store because I try not to give them my business if I can help it. (Long story.)

Any suggestions? I'm in the Austin area, so something in the San Antonio-Austin-Dallas-Houston area can be doable.

Thanks in advance!

His name is Mark Mindel. He custom makes the Diamond style lights...however you want them. You can even get four 8ft high output bulbs. He made mine...and all for a local room. Tell him I sent you...his prices are cheaper than retail...I assure you...and with top notch handmade quality. I have ZERO shadows.;)
 
Shoot him an email...I know he has pics. I'd be glad to take a pic of mine as well if needed. Very nice lights...even nicer price.;)
 
I sent him an email asking to see some pics and mentioned your name. I actually did this before reading your reply. I would love to see a pic of your light, when you get the time.

Thanks
Matt
