I use LED bulbs in several low traffic storage areas for this reason.
In fact, those bulbs are all solar powered from a convert APC SmartUPS 620 unit that I wired into my house power system over the winter (no, it is isolated from the 120VAC pole feed). Of course that is another story but I could have never attempted such a project without the convenience of low power LED bulbs.
