I put some can lights in my old house. I was having a problem with blowing CFL bulbs. Based on the recommendation of someone on this board, I switched to LED bulbs. At HD, they have an LED replacment for recessed lighting. It looks better than other bulbs and the quality of light was very good.

What I put in was something a lot like this.
EcoSmart 65W Equivalent Daylight (5000K) BR30 6 in. Dimmable LED Downlight-ECO-575L-50K at The Home Depot
I installed three several years ago and never had a problem. They came on instantly (no delay like some LED bulbs). And the quality of light was very good. They also looked much better than the usual bulb and separate trim ring.
