OK, this could be posted in several forums...
I'm in the final phase of my room redesign. We had one go of it only to receive an out-of-this-world bid which sent me back to reduce scope and scale a little bit. Now we've modified the plans/drawings, I am finding I will be adding about 16 new lighting fixtures to the ceiling. All to be recessed cans, mostly all down lighting/wall washing lighting. There are more than a dozen existing cans, currently all incandescent on dimmers.
In my prior home up in Seattle area, I added some track lighting with halogen bulbs. These were put on Lutron wifi dimmers. Problem was, those damn halogen low voltage bulbs can buzz/hum like crazy when they are dimmed. In our currently home, the line voltage incandescents don't seem to make any noise when dimmed.
So my question to those of you who've customized/remodeled a space for your music room, how have you dealt with lighting? Obviously there are thousands of available options... and I do want to have at least the new lighting circuits on wifi controllable dimmers. Line voltage or low voltage? LED is obviously a desireable choice, but even Lutron warns LEDs can buzz/hum/flicker when dimmed. And the fixtures run about 5-10x the price of incandescent fixtures.
Thanks in advance y'all!
