RAM Game Room 78" 4Lt Billiard Light
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The 78-inch span and four shades are not arbitrary — they're the dimensions that produce even, shadow-free illumination across a 9-foot regulation pool table. Anything shorter on a 9-foot table leaves the head and foot rails noticeably dimmer than the middle; anything with fewer shades creates hard spots between the lights where the cue ball casts a hard shadow.
Metal bar with metal shades, finished to match across the bar, the shades, and the accents. Available in multiple finish combinations — matte black on matte black (MB/MB), matte black with stainless accents (MB/ST), and full stainless (ST) — so the fixture can coordinate with any table base finish. 3-foot suspension chains per side. Weight: 19.5 lbs. Max 150W per socket.
Construction
Four shades spaced along a 78-inch bar distribute illumination evenly across a 100-inch playing surface. Three-shade fixtures leave gaps; four-shade fixtures cover the table from rail to rail.
Each socket accepts bulbs up to 150W. With four sockets, the fixture has the headroom for 600W of total illumination — useful when matching the bright, even lighting standard of commercial pool halls.
The bar and the shades are both metal — no plastic, no painted glass, no thin stamped tin. Metal shades withstand the heat of higher-wattage bulbs and resist warping the way thinner materials do.
MB/MB delivers a uniform matte black silhouette for modern rooms. MB/ST contrasts the matte body with bright stainless accents for visual depth. Full ST works in lighter or transitional spaces. Pick by what the room already does.
Three feet of chain per side allow the fixture to hang at the BCA-standard 30 to 36 inches above the playing surface in rooms with 8 to 9-foot ceilings.
A long horizontal bar reads as a deliberate architectural element above the table. Unlike round or cluster fixtures, a linear bar visually echoes the table itself, anchoring the lighting and the table as a designed pair.
Buyer's Guide
The general rule: the fixture should extend roughly two-thirds the length of the playing surface, centered over the table. On a 9-foot table (100-inch playing surface), that puts the ideal fixture span between 66 and 78 inches.
The 78-inch PR78 sits at the upper end of that range — it gives near-end-to-end coverage and looks proportionate to the table's mass. A shorter fixture would technically work but visually undersized fixtures look like an afterthought.
Mounting height is the BCA-recommended 30–36 inches above the playing surface. With 3-foot suspension chains and 8-foot ceilings, you'll land in that range without modification. Taller ceilings require longer chains (available separately from any lighting supplier).
Match the finish to whatever metal is already in the room — the table's leg hardware, nearby cue racks, the cocktail bar trim. Coordinated finishes read as intentional design; mismatched finishes read as accidental.

FAQ
What size table is the PR78 designed for?
The 78-inch span is sized for 9-foot regulation pool tables. On an 8-foot table it will work but reads as slightly oversized; on a 9-foot table the proportions are correct and the four shades cover the playing surface evenly.
What's the difference between MB/MB and MB/ST finishes?
MB/MB is matte black on both the bar and the shades — a uniform silhouette. MB/ST keeps the matte black bar but adds polished stainless accents on the shade caps, creating contrast and visual depth.
Can I use LED bulbs?
Yes. The 150W maximum is the upper limit for incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs draw far less wattage to produce equivalent light output, so any standard Edison-base LED in any output range will work safely.
What's the right mounting height above the table?
The BCA-recommended distance is 30 to 36 inches from the bottom of the fixture to the playing surface. The 3-foot chains and 14-inch fixture height land in this range with a standard 8-foot ceiling.
Are bulbs included?
No. The fixture ships ready to accept standard Edison-base bulbs — LED bulbs are recommended for lower heat output across four sockets.
How heavy is the fixture?
19.5 lbs. Any ceiling junction box rated for chandeliers will support the load — meaning attached to a ceiling joist, not floating in drywall alone.
