Led security light

Hi
Our Halogen PIR Security lights have stopped functioning for a while.
Would like to replace them with LED ones to save on electricity bills.
What watts should I be buying to get one bright enough like normal halogen security light?

    Watts is the energy used. Lumens is the light output. Look for Lumens for LEDs, they don't all output the same light for the same wattage. So the first question is, what is the wattage of the ones you're replacing?
