It's hard totell what's going on in the corners because the photo is very small, but that looks pleasant. For myself though, I never use overhead lighting of any kind when I'm listening. I find it harsh and distracting.
Nice room.

Sound room lighting
I am looking to add some more lighting over my system. Thinking about a couple of recessed cans to kind of spotlight the speakers and the equipment rack. I will be adding a turntable so having one over the rack will be a benefit for lighting. I’m sorry, but I am just not into anything like LED rope lights, or anything unusual like that with different colors. I’m looking to see if I should do straight down lights, Or bring them back further into the room and use eyeballs to shine on the equipment on an angle. If anyone has a photo they would like to share of what they did in their room, I would appreciate the ideas. Thank you in advance

mikelavigne, I have been backlighting my speakers during listening sessions for years. For about 7 years I had a pair of those skinny poles with the long, square paper sleeve going down on it that use one bulb and cost around $30.00. A bit more than a year ago I bought these and they are great. 65" Soft Light LED Floor Lamp,LEONC RGB Color Changing Tyvek Fabric Shade Modern Floor Lamp with Fabric Shade & 2 Smart LED Bulbs for Livingroom Bedroom Warm Atmosphere Tyvek Dupont 10 x 10 x 65 inch… - - Amazon.com They can be very warm or pure white, bright or very soft, and many combinations of colors on top and bottom. I don't use that feature, but it's nice to have. They are covered in a really nice cloth, and as you say, for me, they help the speakers disappear. I really dislike overhead lighting unless needed as work lighting. |
