Step by step
Find any remaining standard light bulbs in your home. Turn them off and let them cool down. The wattage will be written on them. Use an online chart like this one to work out which LED bulb you will need as a replacement.
Buy LED bulbs and, with the switches turned off, fit them into your light fittings.
Take a photo of one of the family holding up the LED light bulb boxes, lit beautifully by the new energy efficient light.

Fluorescent lights are also an interesting alternative. Compared to traditional incandescent bulbs they are way more efficient! But still not as efficient as LEDs with a longer lifetime and less energy consumption.
