Yep, that's the type.  The bathroom is probably the room with the most lighting use because of various health conditions, so running a 28W bulb in it whereas every other room with less lighting time using ~6-11W is a bit galling.

... as you may have noticed not LED, but fluorescent, however claims 80% energy saving over standard. Claims up to 10 years life but some reviews suggest fails a lot earlier (others probably wouldn't know).

I bought a Wilko low energy LED tube light for the bedroom 2 years ago and am impressed by the brightness and tone.

Edit:
You may have seen this LED 18w ... '28w CFL replacement'

I like soft lighting in the lounge so have two table lamps and a floor lamp in our small lounge. That's three 5W LED bulbs. But Mrs InvertedVee says it's gloomy and so we usually have the main 10W ceiling light on as well!

The kitchen is lit like an operating theatre - a six-spot track with 30W total plus 9W LED ceiling light.

My favourite Smart Bulb feature is definitely running lights from close to 5% levels.

We have thick, lines curtains that overhang the window voids in every direction and blinds inside the void. This means there is no light visible from the outside.
