Best lighting for an audio room

Tubes! Lots of orange glowing tubes...

Entrope beat me to it, I also recommend tubes!

I have over 40 tubes in my system and my big power tubes glow nice and bright in the dark.

It's pretty well known that audiophiles like to sit in the dark so we can watch our equipment glow.

Tube equipment vendors get to save money and have audio sex appeal by not enclosing their devices tubes in a box so you get to see those pretty tubes as well as listen to them!

And of course, our systems sound so good that we NEVER fall asleep while listening in the dark, right?

Also, the EM fields associated with light could be interacting with our electronics, so best to listen at night or to pull the shades during the day!

SAme true of gamma rays and neutrinos from outer space, but unfortunately we cannot see those and neutrinos penetrate most everything anywhoo.

When I was a kid, I built a Radio Shack "Color Organ" kit, remember those? You connected to the b speaker terminals of you amp and it produced a flickering light show choreographed by the audio signal. No joke!

Just enough for you to get around without knocking anything over!

Try the newest LED (No, not the rope stuff).

It's now operational on a dimmer switch. Can provide both task and ambiant lighting. I own a design firm and we have begun employing LED in an important way.

Wonderful effect when set behind one's equipment stacks.

Expensive but it will last and last.
