Hi. I’ve got two pendant lights that currently run halogen lamps. One of the converters is broken so I’m planning to change both for LED lamps. Please could someone let me know what LED charger I need to buy for this. Ideally Amazon for quick delivery. Photos of the lights and the existing broken transformer. Lamps are MR16 GU5.3. Thakks!

You wouldn't need a charger, that would be for charging batteries.
You need an LED driver which you would have to match to the LED lamps you intend to use.
Most LED MR16 replacement lamps will require a 12V constant voltage driver, and I think are usually in the 6/7W area for power so a driver with a slightly higher power rating than this would be suitable (assuming it is just one lamp per light fitting).
Are the lights connected to a dimmer? If they are then you will need a driver which is specifically identified as being dimmable.
