I am greatly surprised that half (or something like that) of your electric
bill is from lighting.  For most people, most of their energy costs are
eaten up by heating/cooling, refrigerators/freezers, always-on
electronics, and computing/entertainment systems.  Lighting is usually a
small part of energy costs.
