We changed all of the lighting in our house inside and out to LEDs and not only do I like the light better but saw a big drop in my electrical bill too.

Everything is LED lighting now, with the exception of my old magnifying work lamp.

Yes it is

Majority is LED, with a few fluorescent tubes that will be replaced with LED once they expire

Thank god, LED Christmas lights are getting better looking every yr

I’m giving up my incandescent bulbs kicking and screaming. In some ways, it’s just that I’m used to knowing the voltage easily - 60 W, 100 W etc. It’s what I I’m familiar with. I do like the light quality better, but will say that some LEDs are ok. Honestly, I don’t notice any difference in electric bill. But then, in Houston, A/C running 24/7 makes it impossible for me to blame any increases on light bulbs. 😉.

I'm not sure I would say eco-friendly is in mind with lighting. Practical and cost effective is more in mind before eco-friendly. I do most of my work during the daytime so I use the sunlight, heh. I have mostly swapped out the old lightbulbs for LED as the old lights burn out. The T8 grow lights got replaced with LEDs a few years back. The kitchen T8 just got it's LED replacement recently, waiting on BIL to come over and install it. I get some of my light fixtures resale, so that keeps them out of the landfill.

I'm fond of of the solar lighting I've got strung on the porches and the solar security lights on the outbuildings. The big ole barnyard lights I haven't had on in years now. Coops getting fitted with a couple skylights this year when I do the reshingle on it.

" I am hoarding incandescent bulbs in all wattages "

" I’m giving up my incandescent bulbs kicking and screaming. "

I felt that way with halogen and (worse) compact fluorescent, but I find LED lights so much better than incandescent that I have no desire to go back. Not only do I get the opportunity to choose the temperature of the light (warm, cool, in between), they last so long that some are likely to outlive me and, baring any breakage, I hope to never have to change a light bulb again.

As an aside, thank god the mercury hysteria over CFL's has waned as they're being replaced with LED's

We should all convert to high efficiency lighting vs. incandescent.

My daughter is a certified and licensed building biologist. She measures the dirty energy in your house; wiring, magnetic fields, effects of cell towers nearby, etc. LEDs create dirty energy, so she has a stock pile of incandescents. If you have a newer phone, you can take a video of your LED while on and play it back in slow motion. You’ll see a comstant flicker which is not good for you and the light they produce is really bad for your eyes. so no…give me incandescent! im not allowed to have LEDs in my house lol. She’s even hardwired our computers!

I still use incandescent if I can find them. The color of the LED bulbs, although they say is in the same range, to my eye are not. Also, I can see a "flicker" when they are on that hurt my eyes. I must try to look in a different direction when I am near them. And to sit with an LED bulb in my side table lamp where I sit on my sofa, make my eyes very tired when I try to read a book. I am sure in not too many years down the road, science will find LED lights on homes, businesses, roads, and car headlights are damaging our retinas and wildlife migrations and sleeping patterns

I despise LED. Even the ”warm” bulbs are cool and harsh, and they don't dim very low. Also, I have a lot of windows and get blinded by neighbors outdoor LED lights. We don't need to use night lights any where as the light is pouring in from outside. We used to sleep with the window shades up, and then the neighbors installed LED, and now the light even penetrates the shades. If we are going to go LED, then we should require ”dark sky” compliant lights outdoors. I hate to be so negative, but I have very strong feelings on this.

Same sentiment as Kari Lindsay. Hit by two homes with LED lights at night. My entire house is illuminated at night. I hate to get curtains and blinds for at $20 bulb they are using. Just terrible. I wish people would be more mindful.

Lights Out Outside as well. Impact on wildlife and especially migratory birds. Light pollution and few dark skies. Night is a habitat.

I ditto above comments - hoarding incandescent for inside, and led for outside, except the string lights. Hope I have enough incandescent bulbs for the rest of my life.

I have stopped believing in the narrative.

The newer LEDs are much nicer to prior - its just a pain to find the right bulb because there are so many options. We have some 2700 bulbs so definitely not to blue! i did give up on dimmable because they never seemed to work well. we have lots of windows so this time a year don’t use a lot of lights…

To those who feel they are saving on electric buy swapping over the whole house to LED consider how long it will take to appreciate the savings after purchasing those expensive lamps.
At least 10 years and LED Lamps go bad within 5 years where they are used heavily. Hence making any savings hard to achieve.

Many LED lights give me a horrible headache. Depending on the quality of the bulb, sometimes immediately. And the light is just awful. I am optimistic that better bulbs will be widely available someday but until then, incandescent and halogen indoors, and low wattage LED outdoor. Although many comments here are making me rethink the outdoor ones.

To Zap Rey, yes LED lights can contribute to migraines. I don’t know if this will help but I always look for the bulb temperature and purchase warm temp bulbs. I cannot stand “cool white” lights regardless of light type.

We use eco-lighting throughout our home.

The new bulbs they are replacing street lights with are really bad for the ecosystem.  The blue light interferes with various animals' and insects' behaviors. Also the brightness of LEDs contribute more to light pollution.  We use some smart bulbs with temperature and brightness control.  Still prefer filament bulbs.

Not important but all the bulbs in my house are LED because that is what is out there.

As far as these LED bulbs lasting forever like one poster mentioned that has not been the case for us. We have been in our house 5 1/2 years and have had to replace several bulbs. I feel like incandescent lasted longer.

We had one LED bulb that was leaking some sort of fluid. No idea what the liquid was.

I hate having to go shopping for bulbs. You have to look at the color(K) value, the brightness, the base type and comparable wattage. Then you need to try and find a bulb with all the values you want. I swear we stood in front of Home Depots light section for a half hour trying to find bulbs that had what we wanted. And the bulbs are so expensive.

We used to never put lights on outside at night but have had to recently on our front porch. We have a bat that would sleep right above our front door. Guess he was taking breaks from bug catching. I do not mind having bats around but every morning we would come out to bat droppings all over our front door mat. We hung a CD from some string and leave the porch light on and that has stopped him from resting there. There are plenty of other places he can rest. Not above my front door.

Very important to us!
