I do, only 50% incandescent/halogen in my indoor house and other 50% is fluorescent T12 tubes. 0% LED! |

Just in case someone likes to know my apartment is lit by these lamps as followed: - 3 fluorescent lamps - 4 incandescent lamps - 7 halogen spot lights - 2 energy saving cfl lamps - 2 compact fluorescent lamps - 1 Mercury vapour Super De Luxe lamp - 1 Neon indicator lamp - 3 small LED lamps (Fridge and other small stuff) And my small house (currently under refurbishment) - 9 fluorescent lamps - 4 incandescent lamps (street light and construction lights) So the answer is no. Not every thing is incandescent but the majority of my lamps has at least one filament  |

| My room is fully lit by incandescent lighting, the rest of the house is LED, fluorescent and one halogen bulb.
In my room I have 2x 50W halogen lights, which are the main lights, there's also an incandescent xmas lights set and a 40w incandescent nightlight.

| I have a whole bunch of incandecents in service, mostly in decorative fittings and in a floor lamp with a dimmer. Apart from that most lighting in our home is LED-based as they dont put out much heat.

| I have a few magnetic-ballast linear fluorescent fixtures but everything else is incandescent. No LED or even halogen! I have nothing against other lighting technologies; I just prefer incandescent in my home.

| I don't use incandescents for most general illumination, just for some special cases:
1) Frequently switched but rarely (in terms of hours) used lights where the bulbs have not yet needed replacing for many many years
2) Dimmed down lights in the bedroom in the evenings before sleep, to avoid blue light in order to promote sleep.
3) Sometimes, dimmed high-wattage bulbs for decorative purposes

| I use incandescent lamps here and there throughout the house. My bedroom is almost all incandescent save for the old OTTLite by the bed (used only to see under the bed when vacuuming). Like others have said, I very much prefer dimmed incandescent before retiring for the night.
My son has a 3 head pole lamp in his room and it fell over once and broke a lamp. I have since fitted it with LED lamps because they are plastic and will not shatter if it happens again. Otherwise I hate them...

| I have a few incandescents in use, usually only the rooms with lower light levels. For rooms with high light levels I typically use LED, fluorescent or even HID... typically 3000K CMH which looks decent indoors. I would like to find some /930 CMH lamps and compare them to the /830 lamps I use though.

| Yessir! My dads house in almost 100% incandescent aside from a few CFLs. He even replaced 4000K CFLs in the garage with Incandescent! He keeps saying that he wants to replace them all with LED but I’m telling him to do it as they burn out. At my moms house there is some incandescent but it’s mostly CFL with some LED spot replacements.

| We used to use all incandescent or fluorescent tubes, but lately my parents have started replacing incandescent bulbs with LED when they burn out and fluorescent tubes with LED tubes. Majority of lamps and fixtures are still using incandescent and fluorescent for now, at least until they go EOL.

| I still use incandescents in some lights...and will continue to do so.
Most of the lighting is fluorescent, and no plans to change that.
