Hi all,
I was on another forum earlier (TRAITOR I hear you cry !!!), and it mentioned the phasing out of normal element lightbulbs around 2011/12.
This reminded me of a local league snooker match played recently (well last night really...). It was at a newly refurbished club - looked and felt like a new fast cloth, new full set of rests/spiders/extentions and other accroutrements.
I noticed that at both the extreme ends of the table looked a bit dark. Ahh thought I, they've either not placed the light in the correct position or using lower wattage bulbs.
But to my horror, when I looked closer they had installed those energy saving things in there.
I was just wandering whether this is the start of a new trend and whether they are available in a bright enough / high enough wattage to cater for the intense light needed to clearly see balls & angles at distance ??

about that but some of the tables are signed by Mika Immonen, Oliver Ortmann, Niels Feijen and such) I've never experienced anything like this. And we don't pay extra for the lightning either.
