"You can use any bulbs you want"

Well, yes, he can use any bulb he wants, including red or green or
multicolored flashing stobes, but using what he "wants" doesn't always
equate to using what's "best".

Of course, no one would go to the extremes I mentioned above, but the
type of light that different bulbs emit can certainly make a
difference in the clarity of the balls, the contrast between the balls
and the table, the contrast between the rails and the pockets, etc.

What would accomplish these miracles?

The optimum balance between all of those items could very well result
in more shots made as well as less eye strain during play.

I seriously doubt that when a championship table is set up for those
TV shows, they hang the lamps at the proper location above the table
and then just go into the janitor's closet and grab any bulbs they
find lying around. I'd be willing to bet that they have done research
and experiments and have come up with a specific type of bulb that
works best.

There isn't a lot of choice, derbyOH...

incandescent
fluorescent
led
halogen
argon
mercury
sodium
candles
oil

Anything else? I'm betting on incandescent. And about the only choice for
those is wattage and frosted/nonfrosted. True, you can get them with
colored glass but only an idiot would consider them for a pool table.
Unless it was Christmas.

Are you saying that each of the choices listed above wil cast the same type
of light on the pool table and make no visual difference in the appearance
of the table and balls?

You can even use blacklight with florescent items.
