Back then when I rewired my house, only had choice of incadescent and linear fluorescents since CFLs were just hitting the market and uber expensive at the time..
I went with a lot of T12 40W per tube 4ft fluorescent fixtures back then, over the last 5 yrs have been converting all of my fixtures to T8 18W LED retrofit bulbs.. less than half the wattage and not quite 3 times the brightness..
With the improved quality of todays LED lighting you could most likely get away with no more than two lighting circuits for a 2,000 sq ft home if it wasn't for the electrical code calling out a max amount of fixtures per circuit..
