Can six recessed lights of 50 watts be on a 15 amp breaker?
Should be fine if that is all that is on the breaker.
I installed recessed lighting in my kitchen and now cold air is filtering down around the lights how do i stop this?
get low temperature bulbs for lights and also a can of expanding insulation foam and spray foam in the holes above lights. There are two things that should have been done, sorry. New recessed fixtures have what is called zero clearance. What this allows is for insulation to be installed adjacent too and over the fixture without a heat build up. There were cases with the old type fixtures that insulation was placed over the fixtures and it couldn't dissipate the heat from the lamps and the fixtures caught fire. The other thing that should have been done is to get a vapour barrier boot with the purchase of the fixture. What this does is provides a dome for the fixture to be installed into without sacrificing the vapour barrier envelope. This dome is caulked to the vapour barrier to make a airtight seal. This dome is also used with the zero clearance fixtures to make a complete airtight and insulated installation.
How do you remove the eyeball recessed trim from my recessed lighting i want to install a recessed lighting conversion kit?
The trim should just pull down. Because it is a recessed fixture nothing is screwed in it is all friction fit. Most trim kits have two spring wires that hold the trim to the ceiling. Once the trim is pulled down just release the springs on both sides of the trim to remove it completely from the fixture.

How to Decide where to put Recessed Lights for the Kitchen?
Recessed lights are a great way to provide visibility throughout your kitchen without producing glare. This is accomplished by ensuring the the lights are located out of view. Recessed lights make it possible to highlight specific areas, which has both aesthetic and functional benefits. In order to start, you need to measure the kitchen and draw it up on a sheet of graph paper. Be sure to include all cabinets, islands, walls, and appliances. Mark where the current light switches are located. In many cases, you will be able to replace existing lights with recessed lights. The next thing that you should do is tie a string to a pendulum. Hook the string directly over the area in the kitchen that needs light the most. Use the pendulum to locate the areas that need to be lit well. Through this method, you can use the string to find the line of site for the best locations to put your recessed lights. Once you have a good idea of where you want your lights, indicate this on your graph paper. Repeat this process in order to determine if there are other places that you should install recessed lights. In many cases, you will benefit from having more than one source of light. It can be difficult to use the kitchen when it becomes dark, so make sure that all areas in the kitchen will be adequately lit. The last thing that you will need to determine before you get started will be the finished spacing. You can find this out by getting in touch with the manufacturer. The manufacturer will let you know how far apart the lighting should be spaced. You will also need to decide whether or not the lights should all be attached to a single switch, or to more than one light switch. When you do this, make sure that the set up for the lighting is convenient.

Use 40 watt. You do not have to use all the lights just because they are there. Unscrew every other one to bring down the brightness.
Can you convert an existing flush mount ceiling light into a recessed light?
Sure. Get a recessed light that is designed to be installed in "old Work". You must hav eenough room in ceiling to contain the recessed light. There may be some issues in some locations where the recessed fixture may overheat if for instance there is insulation around the fixture. Light should have an over temp cutoff. There should be a template with recessed light and a built in box to wire in the power from the old light. If you carefully cut out the sheetrock in ceiling according to the template dimensions, you will be able to use the piece you remove to repair the hole should there be no room for the recessed light. If there is attic access where the new light will be installed, you may be able to use a "new Work" light fixture since you can mount it from above. Go to someplace like Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have available.
