I replaced eight incandesent spotlights with outdoor CFL floodlights. I did not like the shadowy look of the rooms with the spotlights. These spotlights were recessed into cans in the ceiling and had black indented rings around the bulbs. The CFL floodlights are larger in diameter than the spotlight bulbs, so the black rings are covered by the globes of the floodlights. The CFL's put out more lumens that the spotlights and also distribute the light over a much larger angle. I did have to adjust the socket position inside of the cans to be closer to the opening for the bulb.
I will send pictures when I get the privilege to do so.
