Mood lighting


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

Depending on what mood I am trying to set we use different lighting schemes in our listening room.
We have incadescant "eyeball" cans in the ceiling that wash the walls behind the speakers. These are controlled by a Lutron Smart Dimmer system.
Behind the listening position we have 3 low voltage halogen heads that are aimed to spotlight the three listening chairs, for reading or casual listening and conversation.
The turntable is lit via white LEDS from Little Lite.
We also have a Japanese sohji lamp with a 15 watt incandescant bulb, and a single 20 watt low voltage halgen fixture to illuminate LP racks during listening sessions.
Forgot the most important mood lighting source... a pair of Atma-Sphere mono blocks really set the mood. Tubes are good for more than sound. Happy Listening!
I am surprised that this thread has not yet been hit with condemnation of dimmers. Long ago dimmers used to create lots of noise in nearby audio systems, but I have found that new ones don't have this problem. However the bad reputation lingers on in audiophile circles.
Congratulations Distortion, I think it will be worth it. Having all S.S. need some type of glow :-).
I'm torn between the Salt lamp vs. Lava lamp vs. the wall conce. The wall sconce have a really nice effect - sort of like the buildings at night in South Beach Miami when I was there.
Thanks
