I found some nice 40w LED lamps at Lowes,
Shop Utilitech 40-Watt Equivalent Indoor Warm White LED Light Bulb at Lowes.com

Amazon.com: LED 40 Watt Equivalent 7.5 Watt 430 Lumen A19 Dimmable Light Bulb 3000K: Home & Garden

Even with the Vet discount, still not real cheap, but they seem pretty nice.
Only have a little pulsing when the dimmer is set around 20%.
I put five in the light fixture above the kitchen table.

Nice light, not hard on the eyes like some of the CFLs.

I got these to replace the dimmable semi-flood CFLs in this fixture.
My wife didn't like them at all. They directed downwards too much
and the warm-up factor wasn't liked. (I didn't mind).

It's still daytime now, but these already look like they might really be equal to incandescent 40w bulbs.

I've also noticed one other neat factor, the RFI does not interfere with the TED,
and does not jam the AM radio. The AM loopstick antenna is about 6' from the fixture.
