Hacking an extra trashy Poundland LED lamp (with schematic)

Yeah another dooby-lamp video. But it's the trashiest lamp I could find this time.

Another look at a mass produced generic LED lamp designed to burn bright(ish) and fail fast. Because it only costs a dollar/pound nobody is going to bring it back for a refund.

The most intriguing thing about this one is that it seems to be from a mass producer of these lamps for many brands, but this one has been optimised for being extra cheap and nasty.
After hacking the 5-LED one I measured the voltage over the LEDs at 250V. That's 50V per LED suggesting around 18 LED chips in each LED package!

Even with the dooby hack it's still dissipating just under half a watt per LED. But it's still going to last a LOT longer than in its original form.

Here's a link to the video with the crystal 3D files in its description:-
