I completely forgot about this video, which I recorded just before travelling.

I've not got an optimal recording area set up yet due to the quirky nature of the furniture in my room.  The camera may end up a bit further away from the temporary bench than usual.

Inside 12v fixed colour LED sign pixels

Although I've featured the 5V version of these before I have avoided the 12V version because I thought they might just be the same as the 5V version with a higher value resistor. But they're not. They use special higher voltage LEDs so the current per pixel is much lower than the 5V version for a given number of pixels. I took one apart to explore and took a look at the LED arrangement inside one of the LEDs. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators

Interesting. Buy enough of them and you could build a wall TV. 🤪😁

I have a bunch of them running some tweaked adafruit colorwipe code, if you're looking for a really neat application for this type of light.
