I have refrained from using LED Benn. Our electrical supplier says they have a down side. They contain a small amount of lead and arsenic particles and if they are broken might be a problem.
As an installation company we have to dispose of them safely when they are removed from site as they are hazardous if these particles are breathed in. It is unlikely that they will get smashed in bird boxes and be a risk to our birds but as our birds are cavity nester's I have decided not to go down this avenue but to keep the lighting as low as possible. I have one window in both boxes so it doesn't spoil my enjoyment but keeps it natural as possible. Of course it is everyone's choice and this is my own preference. Hopefully they will be back with you next year!
