Mood lighting


Has anyone added mood lighting or other props to their listening room? Any suggestions?

Cdc, my lighting is adjustable according to need. Low voltage halogen lamps are controlled by 8 separate switches, each providing a different look.

My fixtures are Lightolier but there are similar products from Halo and even Home Depot depending on the style you want and budget.

The reason I like low voltage (PAR) bulbs is because they are available in beam spreads from wide flood to very narrow spot. It's easy to direct the light to show off furniture, a vase of flowers or a piece of equipment, especially if you choose track mount or fixtures that allow aiming.

I have a 50 watt super spot directed at my turntable. Sometimes I leave off all the other lights in the room except for it. I get a super view of the tonearm and LP, making the job of cueing and track selection easy in an otherwise totally dark room.
