Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year for 2026.

I am getting quotes from Ray Wu and Paul Zhang for the 4 wire Bullet Pixels and they do not agree on a product.

Paul Zhang said to stay away from GS8208, as they are unreliable and to purchase the WS2818.

Ray Wu said to stay with the GS8208, as he believes that are better than the WS2818 bullet pixels. Not sure if he is trying sell older stock.

Whats everyone's opinium, as I had only two failures last year with Ray Wu's GS8208. Cheers Sean
 
The GS8208 is 12V. Is the WS2818 12V? https://www.superlightingled.com/PDF/WS2818.pdf (They say something about there being 12V but I cannot find a spec for it to tell if it is just a resistor- or regulator-based design around a 5V part.)

That said, sounds like they are pushing the product they sell. My problems have had more to do with epoxy and stuff than the chip.
