Wanted: Table lighting (query for someone)

[poona]

My private club is after some of the ultra bright table lights.. like the luminaire ones. Problem is the club is on a tightish budget but I've been told we have some spare cash to spend on one set of lights for the match table.

Has anyone got a contact or has a set of lights to sell me?

Cheapest I've seen is..

I know Thurston's do them - but will cost you just over £200 - which sounds a bit over your budget. I know it includes top grade tubes as well - but not sure whether it includes fitting.

A club near me has had one installed and I have to say it is great - much prefer it now to the old style lighting shades and I've only played under it twice.

see the following thread all abut this subject and the recommended Dextra Duet luminaires with High frequency

Just had a look at Geoffs. The wattage is less and they're only 10ft. The link is 2x6ft and higher wattage

[DeanH]

it has been said that because these types of lights are placed a lot highter off the table bed than the traditional coffin-types, then two 5-foot units easily illuminate a 12foot table. Also the Duet have two strips per unit.
Also keeps the ends of the units away from the players with loose-rest-control at the ends

One thing important, ensure you get high frequency of whatever strips you go for.

Don't worry about wattage as nowadays it means nothing
Just the heat produced not the light output
You need to look at how many lumens the lamps output is
That will let you get a proper comparison
A lot of lower wattage lamps have just as good light output

Excellent replies chaps. It's looking like the denman could be perfect for our club. We have a branch in our town do will investigate tomorrow. Glad I posted this thread now.

What did we ever do before the advent of the Internet?!

The two five foot models are what you need.

It's what I have. Think I got the lights and the bulbs for less than £120. I'm very happy with them

Thats cheap. I paid £500 for 2 LS1200's. They are great but yes expensive.

Hi,

I have 2 spare dextra duets 5ft units...without the bulbs......never been used and ready to flog on ebay when I get round to it.

Send me a message if you're interested - I have the same lights in my snooker room and they're great.
