Following Alastair's mention of Greg Eaton's dimmable LED replacement for the later model kitchen light having the three festoon bulbs, I ordered one. $60 + $8 shipping, arrived in a few days from Victoria, BC. Installation could not be easier: remove plastic diffuser from fixture housing, if necessary bend the bulb clips to grip tighter, and snap in the full-length LED strip, re-install the diffuser. Not mentioned in this discussion is the fact that this LED strip contains a little spring that acts as an antenna that senses your body capacitance and operates as a touchless switch through the plastic diffuser. Short touches cycle the light on and off, longer touches brighten and dim the LEDs. If you leave the original, stock rocker switch in the "on" position, and use only the touchless switch to operate the light, the brightness setting is retained when the light is again turned on. If you have the later version of the kitchen light, this is a great upgrade.
