My 76 were individual bulbs that run off the mains and can be replaced when they blow. Thus I included fridge and oven lights but not Christmas decorations, battery powered lights or anything in the car.
@Nanny Beach. You’ve reminded me, conservatory and table lamps, not sure if I can put those in the table lamps though, they’re those touch type. Anyone know? Another count, it’s 31.

I wondered about that, 76 seemed a lot if it was just ceiling lights and lamps.
Appliance bulbs don't fail very often but I don't recall there being a choice of LED/eco. The spare ones I have are halogen for some and old-fashioned filament for others. No option for the under-cupboard lights or my floor-standing lamp either - they're the halogen capsule type and low voltage I think (transformers somewhere behind the scenes). The appliances at least aren't on for long periods of time. I forgot the microwave as well (but I don't know if the light in there is user-replaceable - just had a look and I can't see how to get at it without taking the thing apart).

I’m sitting at the dining table right now. There’s a ceiling light hanging above the table with three bulbs in it but we usually use a floor lamp which has five flared out ‘arms’ with LED bulbs. At the other end of the room there is another ceiling light, a table lamp on the bookcase, a hidden lamp in the inglenook fireplace, a very small light to accentuate a piece of designer glass and a spotlight on a display cabinet.
Looking through to the kitchen there are six recessed ceiling lights, a spotlight on a dark corner of the work surface, a light in the larder, two extractor fan lights, a fridge light and an oven light. I can also see through to the Futility Room which is sort of L shaped so has two ceiling lights plus there’s a light in the downstairs WC.
That’s 28 lights already and there are still the bedrooms, hall, stairwell, landing, study, bathroom, sitting room, conservatory and outside lights.
I have two chandelier type fitting taking 3 of those little tiny halogen plug ins, I’ve replaced those with LED, cost a fraction of the price in power, and nicer light, the warm light is the best choice, I don’t like the bright daylight bulbs.

I have 24 in a small cottage, not including fridge and oven which are rarely used and tiny. Mostly LEDs. I like table lamps lighting over overhead lamps so I tend to use those most. I have a strong craft lamp. I don't leave them on when I'm not in the room.
I've never had to buy a special lamp or fitting to fit an LED.
