I Know This Has Been Hashed Over On Az But I Can't Find Parabolic Lens At Lowe's Or Home Depot As Refeered In Other Post. Any More Suggestions ? I'm Thinking About Putting Up 2 - 8 Foot Shop Lights, That Have Hoods On Them, Side By Side And Build A Light Weight Frame Around Them Where I Can Slide The Lens (if I Can Find Them) Into. Bad Idea ? I Need All The Light I Can Get.

Diffuser
I built a light and got the diffusers from Menard's. They were in a goofey place not by the light department at all. You might have to ask someone. They are like 2' x 4'. They are also kind of pricey for what they are. I think they were like $30 each if I remember right. They work well though.

I built my own light fixture that uses 2 eight foot 110w HO bulbs and found some very nice parabolic diffusers that have larger squares than the less expensive panels you find at Menards. If you are interested, I can look up the Mfg name and phone number. I found that my candlewatt readings went from 90 on the edges of the table down to 75 when I added diffusers so they do cut down on total light output but they do eliminate the blinding glare when you are playing or approaching the table.
