spotlighting art -- good led alternatives to mr16?

Howdy folks,

I am looking to add some directional recessed lights in my living room, aimed to spotlight a couple pieces of art (a photo and a print). Can anyone recommend any specific LED alternatives to MR16 halogens for this purpose?

I was inclined to go with the MR16s (e.g., in 3-4" cans), since I love the way they make bright colors "pop." Also, since we're only talking about 2-3 lights, efficiency is somewhat less of a concern. That being said, I do want to minimize UV damage to the art, and I try to cut electrical consumption wherever possible, so I am open to considering a quality LED fixture/lamp.

Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations!

DG
