Low voltage rope lights might work in your application. You can have 2 runs of low voltage rope lights in the same fixture box/cove but have each on a separate switch which will let you turn on both circuits for more light without using dimmers, use just one for low lighting. I found that well made dimmers are expensive and fail frequently. I also went the route of radio controlled dimmers and zones, they were great while they worked but the receivers/controllers eventually failed, so I went this route. My PS Audio Noise Harvesters go crazy everytime I use a dimmer
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.
