What's New with 2+ Series?

The Ape Labs 2.0 and 2+ series may look the same on the outside, but there’s a big difference inside. The new Ape Labs 2+ series features upgraded internal hardware designed to support an exciting lineup of future software updates. While both the 2.0 and 2+ models perform identically right now, the 2+ models are built for next-generation features rolling out in 2025 and 2026—including advanced AI enhancements that elevate real-time music analysis and automate lighting effects far beyond the already impressive capabilities of Ape Labs’ iconic MusikMode.

The first major software update for 2+ fixtures is expected in mid-2025, unlocking a groundbreaking room-scanning feature. Using a smartphone camera, users will be able to scan the room, auto-map fixture placement, and enable dynamic, location-based lighting effects and chases—no manual programming needed. And this is just the beginning. Ape Labs has committed to releasing a series of free software upgrades throughout 2025 and beyond. If you purchased an Ape Labs fixture in 2024 or 2025, you’re covered! The company future-proofed its hardware early so more users could take advantage of these upcoming innovations at no additional cost.

Ape Labs Maxi 2+ Competitive Differences

• More than 2x the brightness of the previous-generation original Maxi.
• AmberWhite LED technology for superior color reproduction and warmth.
• Variable beam angles available: 10°, 15°, 25°, and 45° for versatile lighting options.
• IP65 rated for both indoor and outdoor use, offering durability in any environment.

MusikMode: 1-Button Light Show

The renowned Ape Labs MusikMode stands unrivaled in the industry. With zero programming required, a single button press effortlessly synchronizes all Ape Labs products in the room (regardless of SKU) to collaborate and create a constantly evolving light show perfectly timed to the music. This isn't the typical "sound active" mode you've seen before; it's a genuine light show that would challenge even a professional lighting designer to replicate through DMX programming.

DMX-Like Control via Grouping

Not a fan of DMX? No problem. While all Ape Labs lights come equipped with wireless DMX receivers, most users prefer controlling them with the intuitive iOS/Android app or RF remote. These control options allow for easy grouping, where multiple lights (regardless of SKU and with no limit on quantity) can be set to one of four groups. You can change colors, adjust brightness, set programs, tweak speed or strobe settings, and more—all without affecting lights in other groups. Additionally, you can control multiple groups simultaneously. With the app, you can create scenes that allow all groups to be independently set with just the press of a button. (To use the app, 'Connect' is required and is sold separately.)

Ape Labs Maxi 2+ Photometric Data

When comparing Ape Labs LUX values to competitor values, ensure you consider single color ratings. If only a single LUX value is given for a fixture, it's most likely an "All On" rating, meaning that every color is combined when rating.

The Ape Labs Maxi 2+ IP comes standard with 15° optics, but three alternative optics are available. Below are the LUX ratings for each color, with each beam angle, at both 1m and 2m distances:

**With standard 15 degree optics, the Maxi 2+ LUX ratings average 247% (or 2.47x brighter than) the original Maxi @2m

Size:

• Dimensions Maxi 2+: 13.7x13.7x6.5cm / 5.4x5.4x2.6in

APE LABS BUYING GUIDE

WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Ape Labs lights are sold in three popular forms:

• "SOLO" means you're only getting the light itself, without the remote or charger. Wireless control is essential for all Ape Labs products, and a charger of some sort is needed for all battery-powered fixtures. Therefore, "SOLO" purchases will require additional accessories that are not included in the package to use your light. However, the Ape Labs ApeRemote and/or Connect App can control an unlimited number of Ape Labs SKUs and are compatible with every product on the market. Similarly, the PSU and/or Super Charger will power/charge every Ape Labs mobile product. SKU-specific charging cases are also available. Reusing accessories for multiple lights can reduce investment costs.
• "SETS" (such as a "Set of 2" or "Set of 4") include the universal remote and enough power supplies charge all of the lights in the listed set. The package does not include a bag or case, though.
• "PACKS" (such as a "RoadPack" or "TourPack") include the universal remote, a case or bag, and a way to charge all fixtures. The Flight Cases have integrated power supplies built-in, so external power supplies aren't necessary. However, buying a "PACK" will always include a way to charge every fixture.
