Shuffleboard lighting should make the table easy to read without distracting players. Fixture height, placement, glare, and nearby seating all affect how the game room feels.
Light the Length of the Table
The play surface should be visible from both ends. A single fixture may not cover a longer table evenly, so plan lighting around the full table length.
Avoid Glare at the Throwing Ends
Players need a clear view down the table. Keep bright bulbs and reflective surfaces from shining directly into the line of sight.
Protect the Stance Area
Lighting, scoreboards, and furniture should not crowd the ends of the table where players stand to shoot.
Coordinate With Seating and Scoring
Guests should be able to watch comfortably, and scorekeeping should remain visible without pulling people into the play path.
