There are LED conversions for recessed. They replace the bulb and trim and use the existing housing. No need to rewire or remove the old fixture.
Ceiling cans, convert to LEDs
Our great room cieling has can lights installed, 8 on 3 seperate runs, 2 with dimmer switches. One bulb is currently out.
I'd like to replace them with LED units.
Lowe's has them for $ 20/21 apiece, size matters. And the LEDs are advertised as dimmable. Anybody done this? Did you have to replace the dimmer switches? Did you run into any other trubs?

What you're looking for is something like the below product. It keeps your can,you remove your trim, and it gives you a LED trim. That way you don't have to remove metal can that is installed above the sheetrock.
I went with the high output ones for myself along with selectable color.
you also will likely want to replace the dimmers, but you can see how yours work.
