Guiguang’s WS2812B-shaped 5050 pixel (same 5.4 x 5.0 outline, pad layout, pin order and cut corner as the WS2812B-5050 here) with an unnamed IC that sends RGB, not GRB, and resets after 180 us. A WS2812B footprint fits; a WS2812B driver would not show the right colours.

The sheet’s maximum table gives 4.5-5.5 V; the other GL sheets differ (see the protocol page). The -W sheet is identical to the -T one apart from the lens description. LCSC stock: -T 38,190, -W 30,310.

Compatibility

  • electrically similar SK6812

    Inferred from the printed numbers only; no Guiguang sheet names SK6812 or any IC. The 2015 OPSCO SK6812 table (T0H 300, T0L 900, T1H 600, T1L 600 ns +/-150) sits inside all four GL01H windows, as does the 5050 pin order. But the GL sheets send RGB (SK6812: GRB), reset after 180 us (SK6812: 80 us in 2015, above 200 us in 2025) and a 4.5-5.5 V supply. A GRB controller will swap red and green. source ↗

  • electrically similar Guiguang GL2121 (unnamed IC)

    The GL2121 sheet prints a different timing table (T0H 250 typ / 300 max, T0L 1000 typ, T1H 620-1000, T1L 400 typ ns, reset 80 us) and a 3.5-5.5 V supply; see that protocol. source ↗

  • electrically similar of this Guiguang GL2121 (unnamed IC)

    Same maker, same RGB order and 800 kHz rate, but a different timing table from the 5050 / 3528 / 6028 sheets (T1H 850 against 600 ns typical, T0L 1000 against 900, reset 80 against 180 us) and a lower-voltage supply range.

Dating evidence

Nobody announces these parts, so this records what we can actually cite rather than a release date. Library support proves only that the part existed by that date.
