The Ape Labs Can was one of the first inventions to come out of our German office. At the size of a soda can and built-in battery that lasts over 11 hours on max brightness, this tiny but mighty LED fixture helped build our reputation for innovation and build quality that's second to none.
The Can 2.0 IP is the most versatile product we have ever made. With at least 2x the brightness of the previous generation Can, and even more available accessories, possibilities are endless! Plus, the new AmberWhite LED technology allows color for reproduction that was never possible before. With 29 built-in color presets designed specifically for the event industry by industry professionals, the Can 2.0 allows the user to create incredible lighting designs with just the push of a button. Crafted in Germany with a careful balance of totally reengineered optics merged with the warmth of the AmberWhite LED technology, the Can 2.0 is an incredibly flexible fixture, excellent for uplighting, unique Fresnel effect uplighting, ambient lighting, dance floor lighting, stage lighting, design washes, table lighting, pin spotting, room washing, tube effects, and beyond.
Control / Operation:
Ape Labs is known to "Keep it Simple" when it comes to controlling lights. A beginner with no instructions can typically operate an Ape Labs fixture within seconds of picking up an ApeRemote or opening the app. But its simplicity does not lack in features. Two of the most famous features are "Grouping" and "MusikMode".
Grouping allows the user to create DMX-Like shows on the fly by grouping any number of mixed & matched Ape Labs SKUs on up to four groups. Then being able to control groups individually or universally.
MusikMode will automatically create a music-based light show with the press of a button. It uses proprietary technology that analyzes the sound in the room and total number of Ape Labs fixtures to build a constantly evolving light show. Just don't call it "Sound Active".

Photometric Data:
When comparing Ape Labs LUX values to competitor values, make sure to look at single color ratings. If only a single LUX value is given for a fixture, it's most likely an "All On" rating. This means that every color is combined when rating.
The Ape Labs Can 2.0 IP comes standard with 65° Effect Lens, but four alternative optics are available. Below are the LUX ratings for each color, with each beam angle, at both 1m and 2m distances.
| Color | aW | aW | R | R | G | G | B | B |
| Distance | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m |
| 10° | 1,770 | 545 | 1,790 | 515 | 2,300 | 933 | 3,460 | 809 |
| 15° | 1,503 | 402 | 1,400 | 355 | 2,290 | 422 | 2,970 | 712 |
| 25° | 565 | 126 | 455 | 100 | 602 | 133 | 1,004 | 215 |
| 45° | 272 | 73 | 242 | 64 | 319 | 101 | 522 | 170 |
| 65° FX | 125 | 31 | 87 | 23 | 130 | 38 | 177 | 48 |
**With 15 degree wash optics, the Can 2.0 LUX ratings average 227% (or 2.27x brighter) than the original Can SE @2m

Manual:
The LightCan SE is an awesome light. It puts out the same light as the ApeLight mini, but is incredibly versitile with 2-3 lens options. The charging flight case is very well built and definitely rugged enough for standard use. The foam holding the twelve lights is very snug to the lights (they will not rattle around at all). It has space for twelve lenses, two remotes, the charging adapter, and the wall-plug cable. The barrel plugs fit perfectly and snugly into the fixtures at the bottom. My only, minor, issue, is that some of the wires running to the charging ports can be seen at the very bottom of the case. These wires are well insulated, so no safety issue. At 15 pounds, the case itself is relatively light compared to the strength. The ApeRemote is great and easy to use. It's the size of a credit card and the buttons have good feedback. Having RF over IR is invaluable for a medium venue. If you have a large venue, it's worth purchasing the WAPP. I'd love to get more groups, but that's a different issue. Much easier to use than programming DMX (and I enjoy DMX programming). The LightCan SE itself puts out a great amount of light (but obviously not as much as the ApeLight maxi). Works great for scrim or just plain wall lighting. The versitility of the 2-3 lenses (if you've purchased the 10 degree lens kit) is great. They come with the 65 degree effect lens and 170 degree frost filter. The battery is included in the fixture. I've yet to exhaust the battery life of one to see how many hours of charge it holds, but based on the reviews I read, the twelve hours or more is accurate. It's super light at 0.86 pounds, meaning that when you use a charging flight case, the whole package is only a bit more than 25 pounds. It's very well built overall. MusikMode looks great (and better when paired with a WAPP). The preset chases cover most of my needs, but I can still DMX them for very specific uses. The only way you could be disappointed is if you need slightly more power in the light, and if that's the case, look at the ApeLight maxi instead. Definitely recommend this product!
There are so many applications for these lights that I cannot begin to write them all out. These cans come with 2 sets of lenses that you can use them on anything from a wall to your facade. The battery on these lights are also well as I was able to use them for 2 shows before I had to even think about charging them up .
Great addition to our growing band lighting arsenal. Take your time to charge them, update them, etc. ahead of use. My first gig was last night, wonderful experience using WAPP to control 24 lights using the frosted lens, positioned around the stage in three groups. I'm starting to wish that the WAPP app could be controlled via MIDI, which would make it "playable" along with the band. I'll be getting a case of the Maxis next. Great product, great company, KPODJ delivered!
I replaced all my lights with Ape Labs. The ecosystem is as good as Apple's. And the build quality is amazing. I'm a huge fan. I have Minis and Maxis for uplights and ceiling washes. I just got 6 of the Cans because I primarily use them with the swivel balls to point down at the dance floor and add texture to the ground. I also have some Sticks for eye candy.
These are a great addition to any uplighting. They throw a different light than the Maxi's do. Once you go battery-operated, you will never go back to plug into the wall uplights. Bride & grooms love the color options for these.
These are super versatile. I bought most of the accessories because sometimes I use them as fill uplights (between my maxis), sometimes I use them as dance floor effect lights, sometimes to wash a cake, sometimees for pinspotting, and sometimes behing my facade. Swapping lenses/optics makes these a game changer.
These make my facade look awesome. They are killer lights and they sync with my maxis, which is awesome. I've also used them for pinspotting with the attachment.
