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


Me too, except for my bedside lamp which is halogen for colour
rendition.


I put the CFL back in

5W LED is just too damned bright to be turning on whilst you are sleepy

makes of LED bulbs really ought to think about this


Philips did with the Hues. You are free to have any brightness you like as
the default
with turn on and free to have it come on slowly like CFLs do too if you
want.
