Did you miss my observation that it is the switching power supplies for
the LEDs that are the producing the noise? They are built into the base
of each LED lamp. Think about it -- LEDs operate on a few volts DC, but
they are connected to a 120VAC outlet.

I may have made an unwarranted conclusion, but I assumed the LED were
substituted for halogen without any other changes. I will see if I
can get a clarification on that point. Would a change in bulb types
make any difference in the RFI being generated?

It's not the LEDs, it's the wires (antennas) connected to the
switching power supply for the LEDs. This should come as no surprise
to any ham -- switching power supplies are generators of RF trash,
that puts RF current on those wires, and like any other antenna,
those wires radiate the trash.
Thank you VERY much for posting details of part numbers and vendors
for the bad products.
