I received this interesting email from the makers of the popular WS2812 & WS2812B LED pixels. I don't find any more information searching on "WS2812C" so I'm unclear if they mean lower current per channel, lower current for the IC, etc. I've emailed back asking for more information and will pass along what I get.

1).WS2812C LED is similar to WS2812B LED,the only difference is lower current,we have changed the current from 18.5mA to 12mA.
2).With lower current,the brightness can reduce around 30%,so the power consumption also reduce 30%.
Main Benefits
Lower Current requirement----12mA.
Main Applications
1).LED Strip&LED Screen with high density while low requirement for brightness,high requirement for heat consumption and steady such as 144pcs WS2812B LEDs per meter,display screen;
2).Portable products such as led clothes,Ballet Skirts,etc.Which can extend battery life by a large margin
3).With LED decorative lighting, Indoor/outdoor LED video irregular screen.
