Pool table lights are the lighting that is hung over the playing surface of a pool table in order to illuminate the playing surface. One or more fixtures may be used. The lights are designed to throw their light downwards.
Friction. The movement of the rolling pool balls does no damage to the pool felt. However, the pool balls accumulate pool chalk that is very abrasive. The pool chalk accumulated on the balls and dropping on to the felt both result in tearing of the felt fibers as balls are struck or slide on the table. Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.
No. Pool table felt is a specialized felt designed specifically for pool tables. There are many variations of table felt and each will react differently with the balls, and each has a differnt lifespan on the table. Use of felt not designed for pool table use will result in poor play at best, and will quickly be destroyed at worst.

Most likely the felt is permanently damaged. Go to your local billiards pro shop, or online, and purchase pool table cleaner. If the marks are superficial, a proper cleaning may get rid of them.

To glue felt onto a slate pool table, start by cleaning the slate surface thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a thin, even layer of pool table felt adhesive to the slate surface using a brush or roller. Carefully place the felt onto the adhesive, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles as you go. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the pool table.
