We have done this to most of our lights starting last year. With my inner ear problem, apparently the brain has decided that my eyes are my compensating senses for balance. If the room is dark, I am completely off-balance and cannot even figure out where in the room I am. I've had a couple of close calls running into things, finding myself on the floor without realizing it, etc so we changed. My hsuband is the energy-efficient buff in the house - I just want light. You are correct in that it takes them a few moments to get to full strength but any light at all helps me out and I have gotten used to that.
