Default Halogen floodlights not worth using? LED instead?

In "stock" I have a couple (or more) halogen floodlights. About 100W I
think.

However they are very power hungry compared to modern LED floodlights and
the new lights are generally under £20 unless you want a PIR.

I don't like chucking stuff away, especially unused, but the head suggests
that it would be more sensible to buy LED.

However if the lights are only used for a few hours every day or so and
then only for 4-6 months of the year I am wondering how long it would take
to save the cost of the new lights.

If 100W halogen is similar to 10W LED in light output (unreliable sources)
then

should be more than enough.
https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-weybu...0w-white-cool-
white/952fx
might be enough as well.

I don't want too much light as I am lighting an area in front of the mega-
shed facing towards the house.
Distance of about 13 metres from shed to house.

As usual I expect the cabling to cost far more than the lights.

Cheers
