@barts bkeske, I didn't specify the LEDs to my electrician. And I just had him put in six 3" LED "shallow" lights in a fireplace bookshelf surround. Unfortunately I wasn't here when the cans went in. So, now I'm going to take the cans out and replace with the LED shallow solid fixtures.
Good idea. I’m an ‘older fart’, and dismissed the new technology early on, for good reason IMO. Heck, I’m one of those guys who bought 2 large cases of incandescent bulbs before they became ‘outlawed’. Since, I’ve actually replaced all the bulbs in my home with dimmable LED’s recently (all very ‘warm’ bulbs that mimic incandescent). I’ve become much more accepting of the new LED technology and their benefits. The shallow LED lights are actually pretty nice for a variety of reasons, and will reduce almost all your sonic concerns.
In terms of sound deadening drywall, ‘sound insulation’, and the like. Yes, those products might have some effect, but it is rather small. The science and technology of creating a true sound dampened/diffused space for high end audio takes a lot more than simply utilizing those types of products. Check out Acoustic Fields on YouTube. That guy knows what it takes to make any significant impact in a dedicated listening room.
