Mom was all about the cost of electricity! I miss the soft white bulbs of the past. I stocked up on the 100 watt but like the 40-60 watt for lamps. Just used my last one. I’ve tried the new bulbs but hate the bright white. Doesn’t make a room cozy at all.
You need to get the LED bulbs that are in the 2700-2900 kelvin temperature (warm white) range. They look like incandescence bulbs.
Then don't buy bright white LED bulbs. A 2700K color temperature bulb is close to soft white of old. I like bright white (3000K) in the bathroom and daylight (5000K) in the workshop.
