I would re-visit your thoughts on LED bulbs. You save around 50 watts by replacing a 60 watt incandescent with an LED. Let's say you have 6 different lights on, some for 4-6 hours per day, some more. It's a fair amount of energy saved. I've used several brands, have found that Phillips soft white LED's have light that is very similar to incandescent, and I've never had anyone say they were hard on the eyes.
