If I felt like redoing all the fixtures in my house, I'd consider that.

However, if I were doing that, I'd probably mount indirect light
everywhere using either hidden fluorescent tubes on high-frequency
ballasts or some sort of LED madness behind diffusers.

As things stand, I just want light bulbs that don't buzz.  In this world
of people carrying constantly-networked supercomputers in their pockets,
it seems like such a modest request.
