Xinglight’s WS2812B-compatible 5050, sold under an XL- part number rather than a WS- one. Worth cataloguing precisely because the naming gives no clue that it is a WS2812B workalike - which is the confusion this site exists to resolve. Xinglight also make 1010, 1615, 2020, 2121 and 4020 versions of the same thing.

Electrical figures are null: no datasheet has been located, and assuming WS2812B’s numbers would be exactly the kind of guess this catalogue avoids. The protocol is recorded as WS2812C rather than WS2812B because the family positioning is unclear - see DATA-QUALITY.md.
