You can get 2700K warm glow lamps from Philips, but they are only 85 CRI. They dim well though. It will look great when you can put up that SOX fixture on a floor lamp pole!

My house is mostly LED. Of course my room is all fluorescent (except a LED desk lamp, but I use that occasionally).

There are still two 65w BR30s and a 72w halogen in use but those are due to be replaced.

In my kitchen, there are four fluorescent undercabinet lights: One F8T5 preheat (now in my collection), two rapid start F20T12s (one has a shorted ballast, the other has no lamp), and a F15 (only one that works and also has a lamp in it). Unfortunately, those are due to be replaced (but I get to have them) as well.

The fluorescent light in the laundry room was converted to LED (with LED tubes) by me.

All the PL-C fixtures will get LED retrofit lamps.


NOTE: I still live with my parents (not a bum lol) and I'm not old enough to get my own house yet (to give you an idea of how old I am). My parents are in charge of the lighting. I just do the work if they tell me to. All the LEDs are either Feit, Ecosmart (HD brand), or Philips.

I still have those snap switches and the mercury's with the older engraved type plastic plates in some of the house. All the lights have been changed.

Nice. Take your time. I can wait. Haven't got anything lately because of school so yeah. I am checking all the lights that are on my "watchlist" though.

We have buying LED bulbs for a while, The oldest is about 2-3 years old, And still looks bright!
Our whole house is mostly LED Feit electric bulbs.
The only fixtures I have not converted is the laundry light, Shed "Shop light", Desk light, Bathroom light above toilet (Which is an Incandescent bulb and has been going about 3 hours a day, But has been there for 10+ Years), Outdoor flood lights (We actually have started converting one bulb to LED), Attic light, A couple lights in the living room (Incandescent 3 Way), And 2 Bedrooms
(First has a lone fluorescent, Always pretty dim, The second has 3, 50 Watt halogen GU10 bulbs, Also been going for 10+ Years but at about 6 Hours a day).

All of our LED bulbs have been going strong for a while, Even though the thermal conditions are not prime(Hot Florida weather, lots of windows, And out of the way of Air Conditioning).

We are used to LED lighting, And everyone except me can't handle daylight lighting, Unless it's sunlight.
We have a No-CFL rule in our house, Unless they are kept in their boxes and in a safe place (My light bulb stash).


Have you converted your house to LED? Just don't use the cheap Ebay bulbs.

NO!! We are working to convert are house BACK to Incandescent! My dad has been buying LEDs for a while, and when he put one in the busy living room, it died within 3 days!!!
I Quickly replaced it with a good old GE Indcandesant. As for CFL, they are going to be used more and more!!

Well done 

We are mainly using incandescents now, except when we're using SOX lamps 

We have a 28W 2D in the bathroom and another will be going up in the kitchen soon, there's a CFL in the bedroom at the moment but when that dies it will be replaced by an incandescent.

Im also in the process of a conversion, all of the lights in my room and office are LEDs allthough there are some lights in our kitchen and conservatory which are either CFLs or Halogens, which are slowly dying. I've gone through quite a few LEDs in my office so far as to be fair i had mostly bought chinese crap ones since i really didnt care much about lighting at the time but now i realize how horribly made those are. I now use a JCB 15w e27 LED bulb as a main light in my office and i have 3 overhang warm white Sylvania MR16 bulbs, in my room i have 3 "longlifebulbs.co.uk" 3000k MR16 bulbs as overheads. I'm loving my decision of bulbs so far and am hoping that they actually last a decent amount of time lol.

I can happily report that we are now an LED free zone, apart from ones that are used as indicators. 

My house still has incandescent and 2 fluorescent fixtures and bulbs. New installs are LED. Every time I buy LED bulbs, its something different every time! Lol. My dad has talked about replacing bulbs with LED but he is still installing incandescent.

Converted? Haven't had to. Don't plan to either. My kitchen and both bathrooms still use T12 fluorescents along with a healthy supply in stock.
My dining room still has incandescents in the chandelier.
My living room lamps have CFLs but I'm just about out of those and they will be converted back to incandescents when necessary.
Incandescent for the patio light.
All of my track lights use PAR30s and R20s, depends on the tracks.
1 bedroom is entirely incandescent.
The second bedroom does have 1 daylight LED, which I bought since I couldn't find daylight CFLs anymore but I'm not happy with the LED and plan to replace it as that's what eBay is for.
Let's see what else, since I cook a lot the range hood has an incandescent, which is a huge help for additional light on the counter.
And several other various incandescent bulbs for accent lighting.
My new self ballasted PAR38 CMH lamps are working out great so no problems there.
All in all traditional light sources that I plan to keep while I continue to build up my stash of incandescents and maybe some daylight CFLs.
OH BTW the fluorescent ballasts are all magnetic except for 2 replacements, which are electronic but I had no choice as they are for F72 slimlines and magnetic wasn't going to happen.
So there you have it.
This is how an electrician lights his home.

Proper light bulbs, absolutely. We are all incandescents now, except for the kitchen, bathroom and one small cupboard, which have 2D CFL's. There is one L*D built into the fridge which unfortunately is not user-replaceable, so we're stuck with that

Interesting, mine has an incandescent inside.

Our fridge was bought towards the end of 2015, so by then the march of L*D had taken over. 

Sitting Room and Bedroom Are Daylight  Hall Way is a Normal  Bathroom is a Daylight 2D Kitchen is a Proper Tube With a Plinky Starter
NO ICKY L Crap Here!!!

I converted my whole house using primarily Philips LEDs (2016-2018) to reduce energy costs, with the exception for specialty lighting. Of course, all old bulbs that I removed end up in my collection.

I'll be honest, I have quite a few LEDs in use in places where I would have formerly used CFLs. The rooms I have brightly lit primarily use linear fluorescent and outdoor areas are a mix of LED and HID. LED for when I want instant light and low light output and HID for high brightness long burn scenarios.
