SK6812 

SK6812 has RGB, RGBW, WWA, SK6812 RGB is similar to ws2812B led, the main difference between the two drivers is that SK6812 has voltage-independent color and brightness in a wide voltage range, which means that the color of the LED should not Like the WS2812B, it is affected by the drop in the power supply voltage. In addition, in our test, the quality of the SK6812 LED is much better, when the temperature is high, ws2812b is easier to die than SK6812.

SK6812 mini 3535 is a mini version of SK6812 LED. Its size is 3.5mm*3.5mm. Except for the different sizes, it is exactly the same as the SK6812 LED.

The WS2812B/SK6812  LED strips come in three different spacings—30, 60, or 144 pixels per meter—and it’s sold in meter lengths.
