LED light has some very different properties than incandescent lamps. One is that you may modulate the electric current, making the LEDs oscillate in a way that may be received by photo sensitive receivers that is not very different from radio technology.

Sitting comfortably in your chair, one lamp on either side, you will get stereo quality, and a strange spatial sound experience. Moving your head wearing the headphones closer to one of the channels increases the volume. Adding physical response to the thrilling story, and, as Skjelvik writes, eventually a stiff neck…
