First it is not red, it's burgundy but it is great for lighting up a pool table.

I would definitely buy an upgraded option with green translucent shades, if you have those shades available now, I would consider purchase.

Very happy with our purchase. Nice quality. Looks great over the pool table. Provides sufficient light.

I gave it an overall 4* because the hanging chains are too short. Also, the electrical plug is not part of the assembly kit. However, included a white pair of gloves"¦
Overall a very nice product for the money!

I wrestled mightily with the choice of lights for my new pool table. It came down to pendant-style or Tiffany-style (rectangular). I'm a purist when it comes to equipment for my favorite game, and as I had blown the wad on a new Olhausen with Aramith balls, and the room the table is in has no bad shots with five feet of clearance all around, I figured I had to light this beauty so there were no shadows. The light was hung at the WPA recommended height of 40" over the table. The results are good, if not stellar. There is some falloff at the head and foot rails, but it's not too painful. The table is a regulation size at 9' x 4.5', and thought the writeup for the four-pendant light that I bought says it is suitable for this size table, I think it would be better, damn near perfect for a 8' x 4'. I wish the pendants were wider so more light would spread to the edges, but there it is. I am currently using 15w LED PARs which are putting out 1600 lumens (at least straight down). The WBA recommends having 48 foot candles of light at all points at the table. That's about 520 lumens. With the 40" throw from lamp to table and the limited spread to the edges, I still believe I'm pulling at least that. My buddy has a light meter, and I'll check it out. Anyway, besides rigging up a few shop lights or paying my right arm for Diamond LED lights like used at tournaments, I'd say this light is a good option. For standard 4' x 8' tables it would be perfect.
