By the time you buy a 5 amp plug and cord set and time/labour to change it all its just more cost effective to put a GU10 lamp holder in with LED.
Besides putting a hot metal transformer in a wooden box sounds sketchy. If something goes wrong it will be "was it a SABS approved wooded box"
Guarantee the transformer will probably crap out a few weeks after you have changed everything and you get called back.
And halogens are just retro now. The cost of LED's is close to halogens now. No reason to use them. I even leave a couple of spare LED's with the client. Just in case one does crap out. Leaving a couple spare is cheaper than driving all the way back for one or 2 fittings.
