More about this light: We only choose the best when making our lighting fixtures.  With over 30 years experience our contract lighting manufacturer is highly experienced in the stained glass market and is manufacturers these college lights exclusively for Sports Fan Products.   The company also has done work with major corporations like Coca-Cola, Miller Brewing, Jack Daniel's, Pepsi, Campbell's, and many others.   First, we carefully select the 'stained glass' and cut to individual preference. The decorated panels are then kiln fired where careful attention guarantees that the glass is precisely annealed for a lifetime of strength and luster: thus assuring that the image cannot be removed in any way. The panels are then wrapped with solid brass channeling for that 'rich' look , assembled and hand soldered.  We use solid brass while others use lead, which eventually wears out over time.  Brass is also very environmentally friendly as compared to the potential hazards of other lead soldered products.  The fully assembled shade is then cleaned, dried, polished, lacquered, cured and made ready for wiring to UL specifications, plus the final, critical inspections.    The handcrafted process is completed by the artisan who solders solid brass to the inside and outside of the brass channels for a completely finished look (no dark solder marks on the inside or outside of our lights).   We are one of the few who take the extra time to complete this task.   Our lights are manufactured with a full brass support plate extended over the full length of the lamp for additional support (no sagging over time versus other products who use small support bars).       The Artisan, attesting to the high quality and excellence of each piece, signs and dates each fixture before it is packaged in our unique frame and boxed for shipping via FedEx, selected courier or transport line.  The additional time we spend in packaging our lights means very few damaged or broken lights during shipping, saving you time and money!        Our lights are also made in North America, not imported from overseas with a decal applied to the light.   Our panel colors are selectively chosen to simulate the collegiate colors as closely as possible versus using standard color panels.    This meticulous process assures the highest and best quality possible for all of our handmade products and gives your college licensed light that quality of craftsmanship so important for a lasting impression.        Choose your college billiard light based on quality,  experience, and value.  We aren't the first to create college logo stained glass lights, just the best.
