You can get LED MR16's. However as some posters have pointed out they are not as bright, more focused beam, a colder blueish tinge to the light, and pretty expensive compared to standard ones at the moment.
Depending on how many you have installed in the room I would start by replacing a couple and see how you like them. I have a 3 x 3 grid of MR16's in my bathroom and I have now replaced the 3 down each side of the room with LED's and left the 3 down the centre 20W halogen with acceptable results. This has dropped my power down from 180W to approx 70W. Not sure how long it would take to reclaim the cost of the LED MR16s? A few years at a guess, but the more expensive energy gets, the quicker the payback time.
