As light passes through, the amber tone reads warm without the green or yellow cast you get from cheap tinted glass.

The choice depends entirely on your table size. A 7-foot or 8-foot table is correctly lit by this fixture; a 9-foot regulation table needs the larger version for even edge-to-edge illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eHanging an undersized fixture over a large table is one of the most common mistakes in game room lighting — it leaves the head and foot rails dim and forces players to shoot into their own shadow.
