When I set up the listening/media room I installed three sets of lights. I purchased sixteen
4' LED light bars from Amazon. There are two directly over the seating area, and two directly over the speakers, these are attached to decorative beams on the ceiling and the light is directed down and towards the back wall (or is it front, always forget), so it doesn't shine in to your eyes. The're also five along each side of the room, which are behind a valance to avoid glare. Each of these three groups is on its own switch, which allows for various lighting modes/moods. When listening to music, I usually have just the lights over the speakers on. These lights shine down and towards the speakers, equipment, and back wall, which has the room pretty dim and relaxed, but not dark.
Listening lights (extra light coming in as it's morning and the windows behind the tapestry face east)...
