Mood lighting

My wife is pregnent and apparently any and all lighting has a substantially negative effect on mood. I suggest caution! =)

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.

try to find a "nixie clock"

nixies are 60's era tubes with 0-9 as independent cathodes (think digital clock before lcd/led displays). with the tubes exposed, its a great complement to my tube pre.

nice warm glow
