Apparently the ballast in the ceiling light gave up during the night. Doh! I expect the easiest, and possibly only reasonable, fix is to replace the fixture.
If they are Thin lite fixtures you can replace the ballasts easily.
you can find them here

Barry,

Thanks for the recommendation. I ordered the IOTA ballast for the BIAX 4-pin lamp in the kitchen area. I "smoke tested" it today, and the lamp worked immediately. The ballast is relatively large, and will not fit inside the aluminum housing of the fixture that is mounted inside a larger recessed wooden housing in the ceiling. I will need to pull the fixture in order to drill holes in the side of the aluminum housing. I plan mount the ballast there with screws so it will be secure and thermally coupled to the aluminum housing. The housing will provide a heat sink for the ballast.
