Pool TABLE LIGHT

I"m not handy. I had mine built. It has 6, 8ft bulbs and it lights my 9' Diamond beautifully. But... it's heavy as hell, probably about 100 to 150 pounds.

great pic, gives me an idea, thank you very much
I believe the top/lid is a 4x8 sheet. I believe all 4 sides have a groove (rabbit?) cut into the top edge so that the top/lid fits into the groove. Then trim was added. The light diffusers are the ones with chrome-like 1/2" squares so that light is reflected onto the table. Two 8ft fixtures would probably suffice... like the Diamond light. http://www.diamondbilliards.net/Accessories/Lighting/tabid/71/Default.aspx
I think my craftsman made the light out of 1/2" oak plywood. He used regular fixtures and they hummed. I changed the ballasts to electronic types. I've used them a couple hours a day dammed near every day and have not had to replace a bulb in the 8 years they've been up there.
I used STRONG hooks and chain to hang it. :groucho:
