I went LED in dimmable spots, after a few days use two of these were producing much less light than when new and were ineffective at lighting the area to my requirement, these are an expensive option, just be sure, halogens are so cheap now even shops like Dealz have them at I think €1.49 for two !, anyway I changed back to halogen as I wasn't satisfied.

You can get MR16 led lamps, the problem you may face is whether the existing transformers will drive the Led's. A lot of transformers have a min and max wattage rating on them, something like 16 - 60watts, led being only 3 to 4watts are unlikely to run on these transformers. You could go away and get one led lamp and try it in each fitting to see if it works. The transformers are usually connected to the MR16 lamp holders by a short piece of wire, so you should be able to pull the transformer down through the hole cut out for the fitting. Once down you can disconnect the transformer and replace it with a GU10 lampholder (cost only a couple of Euros from any electrical wholesaler) Check your existing fittings as some MR16 fittings dont have enough room for the larger lamp holder you find on GU10's.
