Yes, in my fridge, attic, and a few rooms that I infrequently use. Most my lighting is CFLs. I'm not replacing them with LEDs until they die and I use up my remaining few CFLs.
I was still buying G25 bulbs for my bathroom though because it was only a few weeks ago that I found a suitable LED replacement bulb.
Inexpensive LED bulbs lacking the upper-end power LEDs and massive heatsinks of previous years are becoming the norm. Philips, Cree, and GE now have widely-available bulbs following this formula. Rising efficiency and greater thermal ruggedness seems to be the key.Closets - not used enough to be worth replacing. Nerd that I am, I actually took the time to confirm this, digging around until I found life cycle environmental assessments that academics have done on incandescents and LED's. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think I concluded a light needed to be on for somewhere in the ballpark of 30 minutes a day before an LED would save enough energy to make up for their more resource intensive manufacture and disposal. That was a couple years ago. LED production has improved since then, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's more like 15 minutes/day crossover now.
Well the incandescent bulb in our microwave has burned out. That leaves only one surviving incandescent bulb in our house - the fridge bulb. Not sure what I'm going to do with the microwave bulb yet - that seems like a hostile environment for an LED bulb with the strong RF field from the magnetron.
Actually, I'd be surprised if that was the case. Any microwave lamp I've ever looked at was on the 'outside' of the Faraday cage. IOW, looking at the bulb from inside the oven, it's 'behind' a screen.
