Are table lights necessary?

[kobyhall]

I'm in the market for a billiard table, but I'm on the fence about purchasing a table light. The lighting in our rec room is good (we have dimmers), so I'm wondering if it's worth it.

For those who don't have table lights, do you wish you did? Does it make that much of a difference?

The right billiard/pool lighting fixture can instantly give your game area a professional appearance. It is important to select a fixture that reflects not only your personal tastes, but also the size of your pool table.

[David Bergman]

Modern pool table lighting fixtures come in many shapes and forms, some simple and some fancy, but the most important thing about choosing a lighting fixture is ensuring that it gives out an even light and doesn't cast shadows.
