When it was cold outside we would turn on an incandescent lamp to take the chill off a room. Now, we just have to turn up the thermostat.
Guess which takes less energy!

When using incandescent lamps (especially in rooms where there were multiples, like the living room or bathrooms) in the summer in AZ, I had to turn down the thermostat considerably. I’ve never used an incandescent since decent LED’s became available, although I did buy a lot of them when they were being phased out and the only thing available were crappy CFL’s. Now they just take up space in the storage room (but not much, so I hang on to them just in case).

Yeah; and just see how far you get if you put an LED, instead of an incandescent, in the under-sink cabinet, to keep a pipe from freezing, too.
I warm my house with strings of incandescent Christmas bulbs.
My Christmas lights are up from November through February.
