RAM Game Room 56" 3 Light Billiard Light
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The BIL-B56 incorporates a row of racked billiard balls into the central metal bar — a sculptural billiard-themed detail that's structural to the fixture's identity. The three pendant shades use traditional amber glass that produces a warm light wash on the playing surface. Resin billiard balls hold their painted finish indefinitely and add color and visual rhythm to the otherwise plain horizontal bar.
56 inches long, 20 inches tall, 33.5 lbs. Three amber glass shades on a bronze-finish metal bar with resin billiard balls integrated into the bar's design. 100W max per socket. 3-foot chain suspension per side. Sized for 8-foot home pool tables.
Construction
Traditional amber-colored glass shades produce a warm light wash on the playing surface. Amber glass is the classic billiard-light shade material — the color flatters wood-finish game rooms and casts comfortable illumination for long play sessions.
A row of resin billiard balls runs along the metal bar — a sculptural design element that ties the fixture clearly to the game. Resin holds paint indefinitely without chipping, and the colors stay vibrant across decades.
The bar finishes in bronze — a warm metallic tone that pairs naturally with the amber shades and the painted resin balls. Bronze creates color harmony rather than contrast across the fixture.
Conservative wattage rating per socket — appropriate for amber glass shades and bronze metal bar that benefit from warm bulb temperature without overheating.
Three feet of chain on each side support the BCA-recommended 30 to 36 inch mounting distance above the playing surface in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings.
56 inches is sized for 8-foot home pool tables. The three-shade distribution covers the playing surface evenly without leaving rail ends underlit.
Buyer's Guide
Game room lighting can lean heavily on billiard-themed novelty — fixtures shaped like giant pool balls, neon pool cue signs, fixtures with cartoonish ball graphics. These work for a short period and then date the room quickly.
The BIL-B56 takes a more restrained approach. The billiard ball accent is integrated into the bar's structural design rather than being the whole fixture. The amber shades read as classic billiard lighting; the ball accent reads as a thoughtful detail.
Amber glass with bronze metalwork is the most traditional billiard-fixture combination there is. The colors are warm, the silhouette is restrained, and the fixture coordinates naturally with wood-stained game rooms (chestnut, English tudor, walnut).
In cooler modern rooms with stainless or matte black hardware, this fixture will read as deliberately traditional. That can be a feature or a problem depending on whether you want the lighting to anchor the room visually or fade into a modern palette.

FAQ
What's the billiard ball detail made of?
Resin balls painted to look like a regulation rack. Resin holds paint indefinitely without chipping, and the colors stay vibrant under decades of light exposure.
Is the amber color from the bulb or the shade?
From the shade. The amber glass produces the warm color when backlit by any standard bulb. Using a warm-white bulb deepens the effect; a cool-white bulb partially fights the warm shade tone.
What size pool table fits this fixture?
56 inches is sized for 8-foot home pool tables. The three-shade distribution covers the playing surface evenly. For 9-foot regulation tables, a longer four-shade fixture provides better edge-to-edge coverage.
Are bulbs included?
No. The fixture accepts standard Edison-base bulbs up to 100W per socket. Warm-white LED bulbs deepen the amber-shade glow.
Will the painted resin balls fade?
No. Resin holds its painted finish indefinitely under normal use. The painted color is bonded to the resin substrate and won't fade, peel, or chip the way paint applied to metal or plastic might over decades.
How heavy is the fixture for installation?
33.5 lbs total. Requires a chandelier-rated ceiling junction box attached to a structural joist — not drywall alone.
