Mine too. There's only one location in our house where a light will be burning for a long time each day (especially in winter), and that is our hallway. It doesn't have direct daylight and is very dark when the light outside is dieing. So, we put LED lights there so it can stay on for longer periods without asking too much electricity. Right now, we only have 4 incandescent bulbs that are on for a longer period of time. One in the kitchen (especially in the morning at breakfast) and 3 in the livingroom (we were looking for dimable CFL but couldn't find them). The other two lights in the livingroom are LED (one bulb and one philips thingie)
I think more money can be saved by just turning off the lights when you don't need them.
