I'm looking for something to put in the many recessed "cans"(?) that
are in my kitchen and living room. I need something that is instant
on and quick to get bright because my wife is not a big fan of these
things. But, with 18 of these things drawing 60 watts apiece, it
would be nice to reduce my power consumption if I could.

I try to replace incandescents on a per lumen basis but have similar
problems with my wife. You might try replacing on a higher lumen
basis which will consume a little more electricity but improved
brightness may satisfy her. Off hand, I think the 60 watt light
equivalent uses 15 watts and the 75 uses 20, so try the 75
equivalents.

One problem with any light replacement is that spectrum is bound to be
different. I got one set of CFL's whose light was so white, I had to
remove from the kitchen and put on the porch. I've seen blue, red and
greed LED's but nothing like the incandescents we are used to.
