An Alternative:
Install dimmers on all incandescent switches.
Install incandescent bulbs for bright lighting when needed.
Most of the time there's no need for full lighting so use the dimmers.
Result: Less electricity used. Bulbs last "forever."
(Incidentally the efficiency is lower -- so what?)
Dimmers introduce too much noise, causes problems with various
receivers, in some cases, even wireless networks ...

Quality dimmers don't produce these artifacts.
