I'm not trying to deter you from LEDs, but why not just use lower wattage bulbs?

BTW the mercury and CFL issue is really mute. Many of your major home improvment stores will recycle your dead CFLs. Also, watt for watt, over the lifespan of the bulb, an incandescent will put more mercury into the environment than a CFL will.
