My kitchen lights went out with a loud pop. The circuit breaker looks fine. I reset and checked all the GFI outlets which were fine, but reset those too.
If your light popped and made a loud noise this is more than likely your light bulb. When an LED light goes out it can make a loud popping noise. I would replace the LED light in my kitchen.
As for an LED light needing a different circuit or switch the answer is no. They use the same fixtures and switches as the older model light bulb.
Good job troubleshooting. To answer you questions:
1. Led lights actually use less wattage, so yes your existing circuits are fine.
2. If you have reset your breaker & the outlets; chances are that you need to replace all the bulbs that don't work. - if you want to check & see if there is possibly a problem in the circuit try the bulbs in another location that is working properly.

I have a light in my front door hallway and it stopped working. The switch for it is by the switch for the outside light and they still work. What could be wrong?
You could have a 3 way switch. The hallway portion doesnt work and the porch light does. YouTube videos are good for teaching you how to fix this.
The switch could have a broken wire or something could have broken off on the underside of the wall switch. I know it can be an easy fix if you are skilled in electrical things.
My son put up a ceiling light for me, while he was doing it he got a spark. Now my bathroom and hallway lights don't work. I have turned the breakers on and off, but they still haven't started working.
