Poundland LED neon-style toucan teardown. (It's very well made.)

Poundland has a selection of linear LED frames in the style of popular neon ornaments. At £5 each they represent incredibly good value for money and are very serviceable inside.
The shapes they currently have are palm-tree, toucan and pink flamingo.
I bought one of the toucan units to take to bits, since it has a closed shape suggesting that it was not a single strip of LEDs.

Note that in the thumbnail picture the toucan is the one I took to bits and has been converted to run from a USB power supply. I used two 10 ohm quarter watt resistors giving a current of about 100mA. That gives a very acceptable intensity for indoor use. You could also use just a single 10 ohm 1W resistor for higher intensity if desired.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
