Can you read with the MR16 LED?

All:

I bought one each of the MR11 and MR16 size Dr. LED replacement lights  
to try on my boat.  They are the bi pin base type.  The MR11 is billed  
as a reading (spot) light; the MR16 as a general (flood) light.  I  
expected to use the 16 (flood) in the cabin and the 11 (spot) in the  
stateroom.    I ended up doing the reverse.  The MR16 pins are larger  
in diameter than the MR11 pins.  The MR16 pins fit the two brass  
reading lights in the aft stateroom, and the MR11 pins fit the cabin  
fixtures.    Problem is that the MR11 didn't appear bright enough to  
use in the cabin.  I can deal with the MR16 in the stateroom, but am  
still looking for an adequate LED replacement for the cabin lights.   
Suggestions?
