I'm getting a pool table light and I was thinking of one I found that has six halogen lights angled toward each pocket. Are halogen lights suitable for a pool table? Any advice is appreciated.

GOOD Pool Table lights are hard to find, unless you have a pocket full of money. I make the lights shown for my friends. They are $500 for a 7-8 footer & $650 for a 9 footer.
Good Luck in your search

Are the diffusers metal or wood? Do you make them?
Do they have a shiney finish or paint white?
Do you have a link to a site that sells them. I would like to
save the info in case I need some one day. I think they look very nice.
In the 9 footer how many bulbs are in there and are they 8foot bulbs?
thanks

I never thought buying the damn light would be such an issue after deciding on the table.
