LED dimmable lights in audio room?

I am getting ready to redo my audio room/home office.

I am going to redo the ceiling tiles in here and want to wire up some dimmable LED lights (the "can"-type ones).

I would also like to put them on a dimmer. 

Any electromagnetic interference/distortion/static types of issues that you could foresee doing that?

Just wondered if anyone has done this before.

Thanks in advance.

Every dimmer switch and every led bulb is different. If you find the quietest set you can help them by adding ferrite chokes to the wiring at the lights.
I have them in my basement. No noticable degradation to the surround sound system there. If you can’t find a quiet dimmer just replace with a SPST.
A Trifield EM100 will help finding the noise.
