RAM Game Room 4 Lt-78" Billiard Light Leather/Blk
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The B78 LTHR BLK wraps each of its four shades in faux black leather with linear stitching detail — a tactile, upholstered look that almost no other billiard fixtures in this size class offer. Leather-wrapped shades read as residential and luxurious rather than commercial; combined with the 78-inch span, this fixture is built to anchor a serious home game room over a 9-foot regulation table.
78 inches long, four shades, 14 inches tall. Metal shades wrapped in faux leather with linear stitching detail. Stainless accent caps on each shade. Matte black metal bar. 100W max per socket. 3-foot chain suspension per side. 24 lbs total weight.
Construction
Each of the four shades is a metal cylinder wrapped in faux black leather — durable, easy to clean, and visually warm in a way bare metal shades cannot match. The leather wrap is bonded to the metal substrate, not loose, so it doesn't sag or shift.
Linear stitching runs the length of each shade as a decorative accent — the kind of detail you'd see on a luxury car dashboard or a leather sofa cushion. Stitching reads as deliberate finishing work rather than mass-production assembly.
The top and bottom caps of each shade are stainless steel — a bright contrast against the matte black leather wrap that defines the shade silhouette cleanly. Stainless caps resist marking from handling during installation.
78 inches is sized specifically for 9-foot regulation pool tables. The four-shade distribution across this span delivers even illumination from rail to rail on a 100-inch playing surface.
The supporting bar finishes in matte black — neutral against both the leather shades and the stainless caps. The dark bar anchors the fixture visually without competing with the leather-and-stainless shade design.
24 lbs is lightweight for a 78-inch four-shade fixture — typical 78-inch billiard fixtures with stained glass shades weigh 35-45 lbs. The lower weight simplifies installation and reduces stress on the ceiling junction box.
Buyer's Guide
Most commercial-style billiard lights — the kind that hang in pool halls and sports bars — use metal cone shades for maximum directed light. They're functional but visually utilitarian.
Residential billiard lighting can lean toward furniture-grade construction. Leather-wrapped shades read as upholstered furniture rather than industrial lighting hardware. In a finished home game room, that residential character is the difference between a fixture that fits the room and a fixture that fights it.
Faux leather is the practical material choice for shade wrapping. Real leather would discolor and crack under decades of bulb heat exposure. Faux leather wrapping holds its color and texture under heat, lights up evenly along its surface from internal reflection, and cleans up with a damp cloth.
The stainless accent caps create a deliberate two-finish look — black leather + bright stainless. That combination pairs well with rooms that already mix materials (leather chairs + chrome bar foot rails, dark wood + stainless table hardware). In all-one-finish rooms, the contrast can read as busier than a single-finish fixture.

FAQ
Is the leather real or faux?
Faux leather. Real leather would discolor and crack under decades of bulb heat exposure. Faux leather is more heat-tolerant, easier to clean, and holds its appearance over time.
What size pool table fits this fixture?
78 inches is sized for 9-foot regulation pool tables. The four shades across this span cover the full 100-inch playing surface with even illumination from rail to rail.
Why is the wattage capped at 100W instead of 150W?
The faux leather wrapping is heat-sensitive. The 100W per socket maximum keeps the shade interior cool enough to preserve the wrap material over decades. LED bulbs run cooler than incandescents at equivalent brightness and are recommended.
Will the stitching unravel over time?
The stitching is structural to the shade's wrap construction — bonded into the leather material. It doesn't function like the visible stitching on a leather sofa cushion (which can fray over time); it's set into the wrap during manufacture.
Can the leather be cleaned?
Yes, with a damp cloth. Don't use solvent-based cleaners or excessive water — both can damage the bonding between the leather wrap and the metal substrate.
Are bulbs included?
No. Standard Edison-base sockets accept bulbs up to 100W per socket. LED bulbs at warm white (2700K) deepen the residential, lounge-like feel of the leather shades.
