Default halogen vs energy-saving light bulb.... woes :S

Certainly, the diamension will be much bigger than a MR11 bulb, it need a
ballast so it is much bigger thana normall bulb, but the lumen efficiency of
engery saving lamp is batter than halogen bulb ( about 4 times ), I remember
MR11 is G6.3 base not GU4.

Hey ! everybody, we are a energy saving lamp manufacturer in Taiwan and
actually had been develop this kind of bulb, I mean in G6.3 base ( same
with MR11 bulb ) and working in 12Vac, so, it can replace MR-11 bulb
directly without change anything, the original idea is design to replace
halogen bulb in low voltage garden lighing system, especially for pathway
light fixture application, we had been promote with USA market, in our
idea this way can use a small power transformer can drive more fixture
and get more illumination, but, the reponse is not good, does any can get
us some comment, I hope I can know where is going wrong.

Are the lamp dimensions exactly the same as the MR11? How does the light
output compare, for say, a 20W lamp? By the way, the MR11 seems to use a
GU4 base, is this the same as a G6.3?
