Default What type recessed lighting to get?

I want to put in recessed lighting in my living room. My friend the
electrician said he would help and I should go to Home depot and buy
the lights I like.
What type should I get if I want to save on electric bill?
And if those are too expensive, the affordable kind? Would like to
stay under $300 for everything.


Did you want to get just a single recess light? Or did you want a
system of multiple recess lights (like four smaller lights; one for
each corner of the room)?

I don't have any recess lights. But if I were to put in a system, I'd
consider the following:

1. Type of light bulb. Did you want to use regular incandicent,
fluorescent, halogen, etc.? This decision kind of depends on how
bright you want your living room to be, color, electricity, etc.

2. Does it use a regular light bulb socket? With a regular light bulb
socket, you can pick from various different light bulbs based on color
and electricity saving. And easier to find bulbs.

Anyway, if you provide a more detail description of what you want, we
can provide more input.
