Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas?


Before closing up the walls in my new dedicated audio room, I need to settle on the room lighting approach so I can put in the wiring and boxes. The lighting needs to be both bright enough for working in the room and adjustable to suit the moods of 2 channel listening.

The only constraint is I don't want to use can lights since the ceiling is a key part of isolating the sound from the room above and they provide a conduit for the sound. Track lights might work but they would need to be very unobtrusive as the ceiling is 7 1/2 ft. Sconces are a possibility.

Any suggestions? I have looked at many rooms on this site and most pictures show the rooms well, but not the lighting.

Zargon,
you may want to consider incandescent wall sconce lighting. The link I provided is a nice paintable ceramic type wall sconce. Paint the the same as the wall color.

Lutron makes a nice dimmer that will not put noise or DC offset back on your AC line. A little pricey but well worth the money.

I would go with incandescent over florescent, warmer felling. Max wattage per fixture, 60 watts.

Wall sconce lighting is also great for home theater......
