The 2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), produced by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), was recently updated to include additional energy end uses to include lighting and other equipment commonly found in homes.
Notably, EIA estimated that lighting consumes 10% of total electrical energy consumption.
Some detail is included for the category but not a lot. Most of the detail is focused on heating, air conditioning, and a few other types of equipment. Hopefully, EIA will cover lighting in more detail in its version of the RECS.
