In the UK stores have aealrdy stopped stocking incandescent bulbs. I've been using the slow to start-up replacements since about 2007. I've changed my behaviour, for example in my bathroom I used to switch the light on and off each time I went in, now I leave it on to avoid the dim' time which normally lasts as long as I am in there! so the energy saving benefits may be lost because I leave it on, but I don't know, I have some vague memory that the act of switching a light on takes more energy than leaving it running but that could easily be a myth
