I replaced nearly all at once (@ least a dozen)-- large variety from IKEA  from
four watts to 20 including some candelabras (20 W = 100W incandescent).  Gate
Keeper only objects, where obvious, esthetically.  In two  cases the delay is
inconvenient, so I bought a doubler socket; 15 Ws, fluorescent and CFB.

bc

P.s. I've noticed the delay is = proportional to the wattage.  The 20's a full
second.  I also bought a couple of non compact fluorescents 150 W!
