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.

I've used leds with both dimmers and sound activation. None of the buzzing, humming I get with dimmers and incandescent bulbs. There will be rfi emanating from transformer/power supply, move it away from sensitive audio equipment. I often take measurements with my Trifield meter, certainly many pockets of rfi, some comes from audio components. I see quite a bit from linear power supplies. As Carbonmiller stated, you'll never be rid of rfi.
Sometimes I listen in total darkness, have black out shades on windows. Other times I use various LED light shows (consumer editions of professional light show equipment) in concert with blacked out room, I also have turntable led light, none have created any noise through system. Place your transformers in proper place, shouldn't have any problem.
