This next picture was taken from a recent eBay delivery, should be a ws2812b. Why they simply can not mark “5v” or “ws2812b” on there is anyone’s guess. I suppose the 50 middle men have to make up a new flashy brand name so that CVS can sell these for 10 times the cost.

Below is a strip sold to me, I ordered “APA102 12V”. It arrives in a bag labeled “APA102 12V SK9822 APA102-C SMD 5050 Symphony Controller T-1000s” (whatever that means is anyone’s guess). I was under the impression that APA102 only had 12v versions, but “Made in China” means anything is possible.

This strip was ordered as a “WS2815 12V”. For the first time, my led strips arrive and the voltage is marked and matches what I ordered. 4 leads is a good sign, and the wizards who print figure out how to mark the voltage. The chip itself looks amazingly like the one above it marked “APA102”.
