At the moment, no. LEDs may in the future.

Yes I remember something--but so far the advice is that if you don't
need light in a specific colour other than white (which LEDs do), other
forms of lighting are more efficient.
Well I guess related to a post I made ages ago--incandescent lighting
is not completely inefficient in a heated building--some of the 'waste'
heat is 'recycled' to heat the building.
