There are many different types of pool table light sold by sellers on Etsy. Some of the popular pool table light available on Etsy include: pool table light fixture, and pool table light stained glass.

The pool table light above your billiards table can add a sense of decor and complement many interior styles, from industrial to rustic, vintage, and modern. Many seasoned pool players love the look and feel of a 1960s vintage pool table light with stained glass—also known as a Tiffany pool table light—while antique pool table lights can add even more nostalgia and character to the room. Other players may gravitate towards a rustic pool table light for their cabin or cottage, like a light constructed out of aged whiskey barrels or a chandelier handmade from antlers. Modern LED pool table lighting can complement sleek minimalist interiors, where all you need is your pool cue, a piece of chalk, and a friend to play against.


By nature, pool tables can lend themselves to the dark, smokey vibes of the bars they are found in, suiting industrial interiors well. If that’s up your alley, try an industrial pool table light with exposed light bulbs and copper piping. On Etsy, choose from a wide range of styles to match your game room decor and transform your space into anything you want, like a vintage billiards hall or a coastal oasis for pool sharks to square off in.

Seeing the balls better will undoubtedly improve your game—especially if you were previously playing in a poorly lit space—but where pool table lighting really shines is in minimizing shadows and improving your room’s atmosphere. Adding a pool table light focuses the light downward directly onto the table to reduce shadows so you can focus your attention on the game and nailing your shot. The lighting effect can be as striking as it is inviting, designating the table as a centerpiece of the room.

While the size of your table and lights will affect the outcome slightly, aim for a space about 31 to 33 inches between the top of the table and the bottom of the light shade. If you’re measuring from the ground to the light, 61 to 63 inches is a good height for most players. Ensure your light is centered over the table and that it lights up the entire table. As a general rule of thumb, the light should illuminate the table but not the entire room and should rest around the height of the bridge of your nose when you are standing straight up.

Depending on your table length and style of light, you may want somewhere between three and five light bulbs. As a rough guide, tables seven to eight feet long typically need three or four lights, while tables longer than ten feet may require four or five light bulbs. Whether you use traditional light bulbs or LED pool table lighting, ensure the table is evenly lit from above and that it reduces shadows without lighting the whole room. Use wall sconces or a fun wall billiards light to help light the rest of the room and let the pool table light work its magic on the table.
