My game room is a 1,000 sq ft rectangular space with a big conference table in the center, pinballs along the walls.
I’m thinking of going from the lousy ceiling fluorescents that came with the place to cans, or a better fluorescent pattern.
Would appreciate suggestions on how to best light the room while minimizing glare on the games. Some have no glare glass, some don’t.
Is there a tried and true method for lighting a pinball room?
Lighting, like anything, is a personal preference but some accent makes sense.
You could change out those fluorescent tubes to black light tubes. Add poster or two.
Fairly cheap solution, solves glare, and an instant good times atmosphere. 
Quoted from pokerag2:Dimmable cans. Esthetically it’s an upgrade and you can control light output.
I do this too. I’m also going to add an LED strip light up in ceiling joist. Probably a govee off of Amazon.
