I agree with the LED lights, changed all of our lights out to LED. NOTE we were able to use the original recessed enclosures, going on 18 months now. The LEDs are much brighter, much cooler, and much lower electrical power requirements. We used Cree bulbs exclusively (available at Lowes as I recall), about $10 each. We had 3 fail for 3 different reasons and all were replaced for free no questions asked.
