We've been replacing our incandescant bulbs with CFLs (at least, the ones we can). I can't understand the objection to CFLs, as you can now buy ones that are color adjusted to mimic incandescant.
Another thing you can do is eliminate redundant lighting and/or reduce the wattage. So many people think they need to light-up their homes like operating rooms. One of our bathrooms has a fixture that uses six 60 watt bulbs... that's 360 watts! We took four of them out, and it's plenty bright. Homes are so much more cozy and inviting when the lighting is moderate.
