Default Downlights - Low Voltage to Mains rating

I have quite a few of these in my kitchen, used with 50W MR16 bulbs and
transformers (one per light):

and

http://www.free-instruction-manuals....f/p4734235.pdf

According to this they are rated 12v AC, and should only be used with
MR16 bulbs.

I would like to replace the transformers + bulbs with mains GU10 LED
bulbs instead.

Any reason why this shouldn't be done?


PS: they are a pretty old model (mine were bought 10+ years ago), and
are no longer available, so well before LED downlights became available.
