led lighting is a good way to go and tubes lights if you look in the diy section there is a thread call (my front room) with pics of leds

depends what you are trying to achieve, with many lighting scenes you can creat a number of looks, downlighters are most common and offer quite a flexible look.

Take a look at the official AV Forums home cinema for ideas.

Recessed downlighters can show up in your screen unless you set them off axis to your viewing position. Also (there are dozens of different kinds) its best to get the ones that have the lamp set back into the body of the fitting by 15-20mm, it avoids the glare. Dimming is mandatory!
