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

Now that we have identified that my bulbs are MR-16:

Can you advise me on the lowest-energy / energy-saving-light-bulb-like
bulbs that I can purchase for the socket type that I have. Or are the
bulbs am using the cheapest/lowest-energy I can use?

I prefer using the energy-saving light bulbs (11W, etc.) Bayonet B22 or
ES base fitting. Is it possible getting a convertor from the current
sockets I have, or do I have to get an electrician to replace the
sockets?

Best regards
Kevin

Please take a look at these photographs of my halogen light bulbs. The
only thing written on them are 12V 50W and some brand name. Please can
someone help me identify the proper code name for them. Thanks!

They're MR16's probably (including a ruler in the picture would
help). In some cases, they've still got the lampholder's
retaining ring attached to them (which is not part of the bulb).
