MR-16 LED lights for DIY light system

Has anybody tried these new LED lights that come in a MR-16 body? I am thinking of trading out my lights to lower the power consumption and hopefully the size of the sld battery. I just got a 15 degree angle 3x1watt LED MR-16 light from ebay today. I have measured my housing and i think they may fit. Right now I have 2x 20 watt halogen bulbs in they are floods (as it is hard to find spots in the local market). They do not throw light as far as i would like. They do light it up though but for any speed over 20mph the halogens do not throw light far enough up the road.

So Questions:
If you have tried these in your home brew what do you think of them?
Do they throw enough light?
Do you think a 3 ah will give me a run time of about 6 hours if i am running two of these? If not what size battery would? I can not efford the fancy light batteries has to be SLD.
