Need Fluorescent/LED Light Help

The railed diffusors they use work great for cutting glare out of the players eyes, but with LED bulbs they created a shadow grid on the playing surface that sucks. I replaces mine with solid panels and every square inch of the table and rails is equally lighted.
 
Just go to youtube and search for 'Fluorescent to LED'. You won't find much if you look for converting pool table light, but if you just search for 'Fluorescent to LED' you'll find a bunch!

We had this conversation the other night under a 9 foot Diamond light.

The diffusers are pointed straight down so the light doesn't come down on the table the same way it does on a regular light that shines moreso from the middle of the table. On the Diamond light, the edges of the table, especially the end rails, are hard to see for cuts. I've witnessed so many good players who, at first,miss cuts along the end rails, usually cutting too thin, in my observations. After a while you get used to it and the negative effect is reduced but is still there if the player hasn't figured out that he has to take an extra second of aiming those shots.

My opinion from limited observation.

Those lights sure look nice, though.

Just to be clear, are you talking about the Lite Systems LED lights?

Would it be possible to mount a Diamond light diffuser under a Lite Systems Panel?

I'm talking about those diffusers with fluorescent tube lights above.

I don't like those diffusers, so I know nothing about how to use 'em for anything.

Cal your local lighting company. It may cost a few dollars, but when you are done, you are done. Plus you have a local expert, that can keep you from having to purchase stuff that won't work.

Good Luck...
