Philips 6ft Cool White Cascading Icicle String Lights

Just came across this the other night, it's pretty cool. Basically a half dozen clear tubes with a dozen led's inside. At the top end of each of these is a collection of components. There are a couple of what appear to be IC's the first is a bridge rectifier, MB6S, the second appears to be an led driver, A6211. I haven't done much with them at the moment, just clipped one of the tubes off and pulled the insides out.



When i apply 5v to the positive of the rectifier and ground the entire thing lights up and does it's cascade. I can apply power direct to the IC at 3.3v and get a similar reaction.
