I'm Hating My LED Recessed Lights

My electrician installed the LED's into my recessed lights the other day. I absolutely hate them.

They are literally burning my eyes. I can't seem to get used to how bright they are.

Don't get me wrong. They light the room beautifully but, everytime my eyes drift upwards (and they do periodically) it is brighter than I can bear.

I remember having a discussion with him early on, about what type of cans, reflectors, to use. I specifically mentioned several of the ones which come up on this board and he said that for various reasons they were not needed in my application and that what he'd be using would work out well for me.

So much for trusting someone to know what they were doing :p

So, here I am with white cans, white reflectors, very nice looking mind you but I feel like I'm looking at the sun every time I turn them on. He didn't put in the dimmers yet, and I'm hoping this will help, but if not I have a very serious problem. I can't cook with blue spots floating in front of my eyes!
