Default LED garden Lighting?

Help, please... if you can..

I have a number of 20 watt small "spotlights" ....(halogen ... low voltage
wiring) in my backyard. They shine on some trees and bushes. The bulbs go
out all of the time.

Yesterday, I was in Lowes and I saw some LED lights that were shaped
similarly to what I presently own. They were about $15.00 each. A comparable
halogen light costs about ten bucks each. The present light-bulbs cost
about $4.00 each and they go out annually. ...I am thinking about converting
over to the LEDS. The extra cost isn't that much, and I've heard that LEDs
last much longer than incandescent or halogen bulbs. LEDs supposedly also
use far less electricity. Less worry about which bulb is going to go out
next... and the time to replace the blown bulbs...would more than make up
any cost differential, anyhow.

However the box contained NO useful information on wattage/ equivalent light
output/ appropriate input voltage, etc. Of course, there wasn't anyone
anywhere near in the store who might have been able to answer my question.

Has anyone on this group used them? Can you provide any help on whether or
not I can just substitute them for my present system? Any help
appreciated. thanks RichG TX
