I recently purchased 7 LED lights from Home Depot for $22 each. Do not go to the light bulb area. There the recessed lights are $36-47. Go where the light fixtures are sold and find the commercial models.
Went home and unscrewed the existing floodlights. It took me five minutes to install each new light in the existing fixtures. Most of the time was spent bending back the tabs in the fixture wall with a screwdriver to accommodate the spring clips on the new lights. Very simple. Good instructions if you need them.
The results are fantastic. The new lights are so bright we had to install a dimmer switch. But it's always great to have the possibility of making the kitchen as bright as an operating room.
The prognosis is that the bulbs will last longer than me. Change those old floodlights a few times when the heat burns them out and the new lights are paid for. A no brainer.
