LED bulbs - why not mandatory or subsidised

Gradually changing over as B&Q have stopped selling the non-LED version of the majority of bulbs. Problem is, just the hallway upstairs and downstairs, vestibule and kitchen consist of around 34 big bloody spotlights. Not a mansion or anything just poor choice when the house was built. So just the bulbs for there are anywhere from £180-£250. Then add in bulbs in dining, lounge etc and it gets stupidly expensive.
You have my sympathies. Our house is an older house. We have had it some 25 years now. We resisted the urge to put spots everywhere and its quite an older fashioned arrangement. Thing is though that means that the ceiling fittings are not excessive.The bathrooms for example are simple older type glass fittings. So nothing like the amount of bulbs you have to change. And the thing is it looks classic not dated. I know people who are removing the multiple spotlights/ downlights they have in theirs.
Trends eh !

Will be handy finding a job lot or bulk discount like but found it surprisingly tricky finding the right bulbs elsewhere!

Where from?I mean you can already buy led bulbs for like 80p...
And how do you get the millions who don’t seem to realise they exist to buy them?
In the meantime our lifestyles are being forcibly changed to save less CO2 than changing over to LED bulbs.
