That didnt make much of a difference for me. I thought it would be better but I thought about it, I usually am using 1-2 bulbs at night at most anyway... The other ones are are on for 5-10 mins at most at a time anyway. I like it fairly dark. But many others have said the same as you. As the others burn out I switch them out. But I use them so little they are taking their time to burn out. But go after the big ones first. Those are the soul sucking ones anyway. But every little bit helps. I got my eye on a hall light that may be worth switching over
Its like shopping at harbor freight. If you are going to use it once then not touch it again for 2 years. It is worth buying the cheaper stuff. But if you are going to use it everyday it is worth springing for a bit of quality.
