I have recessed lighting in the basement that doesn't put out much light. I would like to retrofit these to globes or something else to increase the light output. I have searched the manufacturers websites with no luck. Any suggestions?

Have you tried using a different baffle on the lights you have there? I've seen a change of baffle make a pretty significant difference.
As far as changing, I'd say your only problem would be how to mount the new light over the old hole. I assume you'd remove the can from inside the ceiling. I wouldn't think it necessary to remove all of it, just the can part. This should give you access to the box where the can is wired to the sheathed electrical cable.
