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.

The best lighting is of course the lava lamp.

The room had its own dedicated power subpanel, and the lighting was supposedly on a completely isolated line.
The operative word being, "supposedly"!   

For the "I've lost count of how many times" time, there is no such thing as a completely isolated line. The closest you can get is batteries. Even then the batteries must be disconnected from the line. Even then the isolation is only partial, because RFI is everywhere. You want a completely isolated line, build your house inside a Faraday cage, with its own nuclear power plant. With just the stereo. No lights. No nothing. And with the power plant somehow isolated......    

Short of that: there is no such thing as completely isolated!
