    That Predator Arena Light is the best.you can literally see the minimal shadow of the ball and I think,for me,that's the main reason and the distribution is perfect.great video.I always dream to have one of those Brunswick professional table and the Aramith Belgian billiard ball.it's just impossible to happen.

    Are the ball shadows uniform? Do you have any issues in the middle of the table with the shadows affecting your ability to see the balls correctly? I don't know if I want this light or a diamond light that covers the entire table. Comparing it to a 3 lamp light isn't really a fair comparison.

(or reply with your opinions) i am hearing they come un-level and sound funny because of aluminum frame?, how similar is the play? whats your overall opinion of them? compared to diamond

    Nice. I have a 9 ft pool table with a rwgular hanging pool table light. However I wanted to get one of those ping pong table tops to put on top of my pool table to play ping pong, but my current light will get in the way of playimg.
    So I was thinking about replacing the light with a Perimeter Billiard™ LED Pool Table Light like yours. Iam assuming I can mount it higher than the regular pool table lights so I can play ping pong? Also I wanted to know if I will be good to use a 7ft pool table light on my 9ft pool table??
    I also may downsize from 9ft pool table to 8ft pool table I don't know yet.

    That light is awesome. Your review is perfect. but WOW 1 grand for LED? Considering it's made in China and I have had over 5 years experience with LED lighting from China and suffice it to say it's only recently become better in terms of reliability. Might have to make my own to see how I come out in term of lumins and flexibility.

    Excellent review Brandon. I assembled my 8' light by myself in about the same time. Easy peasy if you watch all the videos first. I covered up the light leakage at the joints with strips of black Gorilla tape. Complete blockage of the leak and you can't see the tape if you try because of the brightness of the fixture. (I also have the black frame). One other point for those that might ask. I have a 16' x 20' pool room and the Predator light lights up the whole room with no other lighting in the room.

    • @BilliardsDirect
      @BilliardsDirect  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for sharing your experience and tips, Rick.
      You're right about the Predator Light's ability to light up a whole room.
      The Predator Light was the only light source we used to record this video review.
      Having the light will make it easier for me to record more pool videos. :)

  • @TheDicedrum

    Thank you Brandon for this informative video. You answered all the questions I had about the light. May I ask if you could post the video of the assembly? Also is the 66" from the table surface recommended, or is that what you went with because you had the available ceiling height? I ask because I may not be able to ge that height, but it may help with not lighting up the remainder of the room--quite so much. I appreciate it. Thanks

      Hi Nancy, we basically set up the camera on an articulated arm and installed that into the ceiling directly above the pool table. We used a "Wall Plate with 5/8" Locking Receiver" that was purchased from B&H Photo. Make sure to turn on the "Linear" lens mode on your GoPro, to avoid any fisheye distortion.

    • @BilliardsDirect
      @BilliardsDirect  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ​@@bubbalands The Predator Light uses thousands of individual LEDs, positioned behind a prismatic diffusion lens.
      The LEDs are not user replaceable, but they are each rated for a lifetime of 50,000 hours.
      Based on that 50,000 hour rating, the LEDs in the Predator Light should last about 17 years, if used for 8 hours every day.
      The Predator light also has a 3-year warranty, with the manufacturer stating they will "replace any defective parts at no cost".
