Apart from a few, rarely used, lamps that have yet to be changed, I have
long converted everything to LED.

+1, although I have several of the little desk lamps with "radio aeriel"
power feeds that use G4s. However I can report that I've just put a LED
replacement in one that has just failed and although it is perhaps not
quite so bright, the output is acceptable.
