My van has 19 internal halogen lamps mounted as down lights. They have the G4 type of bulb, two pins protruding from one end, which push into a corresponding female fitting into the lamp base. They have a 10 Watt output.
I would like convert these to LED , but are not sure what to purchase, as there are many brands out there, at varying prices---- $5.00 to $16.00 ea. Will be a tad expensive if I decide to replace them all at once at the $16.00 mark. May be I will do it gradually, a few at a time.
Also what does the 10 Watt output convert to into either Kelvin or Lumens which is mentioned in the advts. I am not sure what Kelvin or Lumens are exactly , all I want is to have a replacement LED with the same light output.
Is there anyone out there can help me, I don't mind if you are a business member or person or not. All suggestions gratefully received. Regards G.T.

I purchased LEDs from ledshoponline.com
Their MR11 line of bulbs fit the G4 downlight socket and they have these in 6, 9 and 12 SMD configurations.
They say that their 9 SMD units give as much light as a 10 w Halogen
When I purchased
mine in 2009 the largest I could get was the MR11 configured to 6 SMD.
At the time I paid $19 each. I would buy a 9 SMD and a 12SMD and trial them.
