You may also want to look at these. I replaced the 3 in my kitchen after I read the post below, and would happily recommend them. Not only do they work well, save electricity and put out nice quality light, but they should run much cooler and they look much better than the normal bulbs and bezels in most recessed lighting. The only downside is the initial cost, but if they last 15 or 20 years, that may not be that big a deal either..

It completely replaces the bezel and has a diffuser and uses different colors of LEDs behind it for great color rendering.

It also starts instantly compared to the screw in ones, so it must have a quick start capacitor or something. Best LED I've seen yet. In several states they are $25, still $40 here in WA, so I'm holding out past my first test one for a bit.

We'll be past CFLs in no time I hope.
