OY! My father worked for the electric company so he was hyper aware of excessive consumption and the cost of electricity. The rule in our house was, "One person, one room, one light." He would go around the house checking for violations and fine us 10 cents if we had more than one light on. I still follow this rule today.
LEDs emit an amount of blue light that is hard on the eyes, especially for older people with cataracts. I will check out the Phillips soft white bulbs, thanks.
