We use the energy saving lights in our home in all of the lamps.  We do have a few under the counter lights in the kitchen.  We try to teach the children to turn off the lights as they leave a room but it takes alot of reminding.

I like to use night lites at night so that  we can walk around without breaking our toes on the furniture.

What we have to remember too is that cfl's last a long time-less consumption of product.
Led's last even longer (although the upfront cost is higher), so you may only have to buy them once
every 30-40 years.
Now that's reducing consumption.

Kids definitely need the constant reminding of the lights! Many times I go into the kitchen and see the bathroom light on with nobody in there.  We don't need nightlights tho, we have enough light from the street lights to light the house enough to walk around in the dark.
