I'm with Foxy - why do you have a problem with LEDs? A little tale. We've been using them for indicator industrial indicator lamps since 1992. No failures since then.

Not to mention the dreadful energy efficiency for incandescent bulbs.

I've had some where despite being careful with stated colour temperature, output and reviews they've been rubbish.
I have a fitting similar to yours in a bathroom with an LED in it and I can assure you that it is excellent.

Re: Replacing a kitchen light fitting
As with all lamps, LEDs come in different colour temperatures and wattages. The ones in my lounge are 11W bright white - so bright are they, I've had to remove one of them because you'd have to be wearing a welder's mask to look at them for any length of time.

Didn't look in the loft though did they...

Re: Replacing a kitchen light fitting
These LED lights are used to give plenty of brightness in the kitchen/dining room (separate switches). Not decorative but practical. They are really bright and used only when preparing meals and if any craftwork is being done at the dining table.
Other than that, LED lights under the kitchen cupboards and lamps at the sides of the room are used. I prefer softer lighting unless brightness is really needed.
