[QUOTE="Letfreedomring, post: 4298562, member: 50298"] We replaced our 6 can lights in the kitchen to LED a few years ago and couldn't be happier. We chose daylight ~6500k and dimmable since they are about double the brightness of the incandescent ones they replaced. The dimmer must be able to be used with LEDs which most are these days. Our retrofits use an adapter that screws into the standard bulb base then use spring clips to slide into can housing. Plus they have a built-in trim ring that seals over the transition between can and sheetrock. If you have a can light in the shower just make sure the LED retrofit is rated for use in damp areas. While the big box stores have a good selection of LED retrofits you'll more than likely pay double for the same ones that you can find online. The only advice I would give is stick to known name brands like GE, Sylvania, etc. and pay attention to warranty terms since electronics are hit or miss these days. [/QUOTE]
