The Ape Labs Coin 2.5 takes the "tiny but mighty" saying to a whole new level. With powerful 15-watt RGBaW output, compact sizing, and flexible USB-C power, the Coin 2.5 is extremely versatile and fits almost anywhere. It is compatible with a wide range of Ape Labs accessories, making it perfect for uplighting, pinspotting, truss warming, dance floor lighting, tube effects, and creative accent lighting. Want to try a sample?
The Ape Labs Coin 2.5 builds on the Coin 2+ platform with two important updates for easier setup and long-term reliability. Instead of the short USB-A pigtail used on the Coin 2+, the new Ape Labs Coin 2.5 features an integrated USB-C port and includes a 6 ft USB-C cable in the box.
This USB-C design makes the Coin 2.5 more flexible for a wide variety of setups. Users can power the fixture with the included cable or use another standard USB-C cable when a different cable length is needed for a clean installation, event setup, or battery bank configuration.
The Coin 2.5 also features an improved PCBA board for enhanced performance and reliability. Other than these updates, it delivers the same compact size, powerful 15W RGBaW output, accessory compatibility, and control options that made the Coin 2+ such a versatile lighting tool.
The renowned Ape Labs MusikMode stands unrivaled in the industry. With zero programming required, a single button press effortlessly synchronizes compatible Ape Labs products in the room to create a constantly evolving light show perfectly timed to the music. This is not the typical "sound active" mode found on basic fixtures—it is a true automated light show designed for DJs, event pros, venues, and production companies that want fast results without complex programming.
Not a fan of DMX? No problem. Ape Labs lights include wireless control options, but most users prefer the intuitive iOS/Android app or RF remote. These control methods allow easy grouping, where multiple lights can be assigned to one of four groups. You can change colors, adjust brightness, set programs, tweak speed or strobe effects, and more without affecting other groups. With the app, you can also create scenes where each group operates independently at the push of a button. To use the app, Ape Labs Connect is required and sold separately.
The Ape Labs Coin 2.5 is a compact yet powerful lighting fixture built for ultimate flexibility and performance. With its 15-watt RGBaW LED and AmberWhite technology, it produces warm white tones, vivid colors, and smooth color mixing for professional event lighting applications.
The Coin 2.5 is essentially the Can 2+ without the built-in battery, which reduces both size and cost. Need battery power? Simply connect it to a compatible USB battery bank using USB-C cabling to create a compact wireless-style setup. This makes it ideal for mobile DJs, wedding professionals, venues, rental companies, and installers who need a tiny fixture that can be placed almost anywhere.
With its integrated USB-C port, the Ape Labs Coin 2.5 is easier to cable than the previous pigtail design. Use the included 6 ft USB-C cable for standard setups, or choose another standard USB-C cable when your installation or event layout requires a different length.
Compatible accessories include the Swivel Ball Adapter for universal mounting, Par Wash Optics in 10°, 15°, 25°, and 45°, Pinspot Adapter, Dome Lens, Table Tube Adapter, fiber optics add-on, and Coin Tube for 1 to 2 meter tube effects. Whether you are uplighting, downlighting, pinspotting, truss warming, lighting a dance floor, or creating decorative effects, the Coin 2.5 is designed to deliver impressive output from an ultra-compact fixture.
When comparing Ape Labs LUX values to competitors, always reference single-color readings. Many brands publish “all-on” ratings, which combine RGBW and can be misleading.
The Coin 2.5 comes standard with a 65° Fresnel lens. For higher intensity, users can install optional beam optics. Below is a table of LUX values per beam angle and color 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° wash optics, the Coin 2.5 LUX output is approximately 2.27x brighter than the original Coin at 2 meters.

Kpodj is always a one stop shop for me, fast delivery time and these guys are very knowledgeable of their product . Nathaniel (New York City
What can I say this product is amazing its just the best in every way possible NEXT LEVEL STUFF
I use these for my facade. At first, I used Cans so I didn't have to deal with any power cables at all, but I love that they are so close to the ground. I use the big USB hub from Ape Labs and plug all my coins into one USB bank and plug the bank in next to my controller. It's easy and because they are so low to the ground, I slide them in front of my facade panels instead of behind them. That way they are brighter and add light to the dancefloor. I love Musik Mode on my facade!!

These Ape Coins are such a life saver. Friendly to the wallet as well. I get so many compliments on the color saturation of them. I purchased 4 to highlight my DJ set up and cant be happier. I just added into my DJ set up a pair of Minis as well as the Ape Connect. The only thing better than the product is the service and knowledge from the crew at KPODJ.
