LED bulbs are around 10 times as energy efficient as traditional halogen or incandescent bulb. So, for example you will get around the same amount of light from a 5 watt LED downlight such as the ones pictured, as you would from a 50 watt halogen downlight.
Not only this, but you get around 10 000s of hours from one meaning an awful lot less lightbulbs to change. An equivalent halogen or incandescent bulb may last only 1000 hours. We're talking up to 20 years of light from one bulb!
Just to top it off they even beat the older CFL energy saving bulbs. Ever get slightly irritated by waiting for a light to come on after you flick the switch? And then waiting even longer for it to get bright enough that you don't have to practically feel your way around the room? Yep, us too. This doesn't happen with LED. Instant full light.
Yes, they are a little more expensive than other bulbs but within a couple of years you will have offset the cost with the energy savings in the knowledge that you have years of use to still get out of them.
