red light district?

Yes, but only for your ears!

Getting back on topic...
I don't expect filament lamps would last very long and LEDs are compact and easy to mount. I have considered building some skinny rear surround speakers for the tv room with reading lamps on top. Something like a voigt pipe with 4 inch driver and a 35mm 12V halogen lamp on a gooseneck.

I have an enormous, horribly tacky "ghetto blaster" from the 1980s I rescued from the rubbish dump many years ago. It has translucent plastic dust caps in the 8 inch woofers. Lights in a hole in the pole piece flash with the bass. Several LEDs along the front flash as well. I can't bring myself to throw such an ugly thing away when the radio still works.
