It's an MR16 lamp holder - Toolstation Part number 99286, 54p each. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p99286

It is one type of MR16 lamp holder likely a GU5.3. As shown often people call the 12 volt GU5.3 lamps MR16 but in real terms MR16 refers to the reflector type and diameter so you can also get MR16 with GU10, E14 and E27 holders. So it depends on which shop as to what it is called.

Thanks, it is indeed.

Anyone knows where can I buy these with length of 25cm? AllI see online are 15cm length max and they are too short for me.

These are 250, but expensive:

And WTF does this mean?: "Finished in white to ensure no attention is taken from your lamps."

EDIT: Scrap Amazon, these are cheaper:
