Maybe they still run on "new old stock" bulbs until they are used up. But even if they do, they clearly didn't do the math. I've upgraded all my lighting to LED and binned all my incandescent stock.

    I'm sitting inside a house where, presently, all lights turned on at the same time will require 30w. Before we went through all the lights, a single lightbulb would use 45w.

    Just by replacing the old light bulbs, we reduced energy consumption and the number of lights required to light a room.
