It is already a LED lamp.

And the word is halogen, not halogenic

It is not an LED.

"A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine."

And a Light Emitting Diode is

"An LED lamp or LED light bulb is an electric light that produces light using light-emitting diodes. LED lamps are significantly more energy-efficient than equivalent incandescent lamps and can be significantly more efficient than most fluorescent lamps."

Yes, and what is in the picture is 12 discrete LEDs.

Don't try and correct people if you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

That is an LED. Those little pips are just lenses.

That fixture is a whole bunch of LEDs. Replacing it with another LED bulb should be fine.
