Ape Labs ApeLight Maxi Wireless DMX Par Can with Rechargeable Battery

The Ape Labs ApeLight Maxi is a versatile, battery-powered wireless DMX par can, perfect for uplighting, stage lighting, or dance floor wash lighting. Very unique & 100% built in Germany, this compact fixture delivers powerful and vibrant lighting with exceptional ease of use, making it ideal for both professionals and event enthusiasts.

Ape Labs Maxi Competitive Differences

  • 45 Watts - RGBW LEDs
  • 14+ Hour Rechargeable NiMH Battery
  • Upgradable to 2.0 software with Connect or W-App
  • Only 3.3lbs
  • Rain Proof

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 app, 'Connect' is required and is sold separately.)

So after seeing all of the videos , reviews and comparisons, we finally decided to order a set of apelight maxi's. These are absolutely as advertised. Bright? check. Easy to use? check. Great battery life? check. I get it, they're a little pricey, but really when you compare to some of the others, they're not so much more expensive. They're a great selling point for brides and the ability to place them in areas for pictures then move them back to the reception area for the dance is awesome. It's one of the things we have that a lot of others don't and it's that selling point that sometimes gets us booked over others. I can't say enough good things about these lights. You will use them for events you hadn't thought about because of how easy they are to take with you and set up. I love these things (no, I'm not getting paid by ape labs), but holy cow if every product they have is as well made as these, we'll be purchasing more of their products. As the budget allows, we'll definitely add another set of the maxi's to the kit. Also, the people at KPODJ were great to work with. Answered emails quickly. Updated on shipping and availability in a timely manner. Both the buying experience and the product were A++. Would for sure recommend and will be doing all of our ordering from KPODJ from here on out. Thanks guys!

These are every bit as good as advertised. There are lots of options with the RF remote. It would be nice if the remote had more buttons with specific functions. But overall I was extremely impressed.

I used mine for the first time tonight, very impressive. Although the remote and programs are nice, mine are now DMX controlled using the WAPP and software. Love battery and wife, great build quality, bright enough, etc. I think these were a great investment.

I debated getting the Ape Maxis for a couple of years. My old uplights were finally just getting too old so I bit the bullet and spent the money...as you know, these lights are not cheap. MONEY WELL SPENT! You truly get what you pay form and they are worth every penny. These lights are some next level shit. Stop pondering, pull the trigger and pick these up, you will not be disappointed!

As a one person DJ, these are perfect not only for uplights but also sound activated dance lights near the dance floor. Simple to run and I don't need to worry about complex light changes during events. Charging all at same time with tour pack makes things simple and fast. The people at KPODJ are also the best for customer support! - Pat M.

I'm really happy with both the Ape Labs Maxi's and the Light Sticks. They are simple, RBGW fixtures, but the wireless, battery powered nature, combined with the size makes these a game changer. High quality build, and easy to set up. I'm programming mine as part of a SoundSwitch setup, and really happy so far.

Got the new lights just in time for my NYE gig. These babies are soooo easy to use and actually work as discribed. They are very bright and work very well. My old light weight about three times as much so I have them in pairs in each case so needless to say, much more cumbersome and they cost just as much. I only got one set of ape light maxi's but hope to get another set soon. You cannot go wrong with these. They more than do the job (any job) and are so simple to operate. Definitely an AA++ rating from me. DJ Mike

I've owned a variety of uplighting from the typical manufacturers (American DJ, Chauvet) and while these lighting solutions were decent, I never felt blown away by them, whether it be due to poor color mixing or throw output. I decided it was time to step up to a more prominent brand and was pointed in the direction of Ape Labs by the great crew from KPODJ. The investment was certainly well worth it. The German-engineered build quality is astounding, these little bricks pack quite a bunch with regards to both white and light output. Having the well-build charging case included in the bundle is certainly a bonus. If you're like me and are tired of searching for a light the ticks all the boxes (indoor/outdoor rated, compact, high output, smooth color mixing) look no further. Ape Labs Apelight Maxi is, quite simply, the absolute best uplight on the market and your last stop for uplight investment.

The Ape Light Maxis are a Tour De Force in the uplighting industry. They are easy, fun and reliable. 14 hrs. of battery life should get you through any gig, I can sell shows for my company just by showing these puppies off at fairs.

These are awesome! I just bought my second set of 6. They add elegance and vibes without being overwhelming or cheesy. The color palate is clean and bright, I almost never even run them on full brightness. The Lights are durable and Easy to control with a simple remote. Highly recommend.

The ape labs maxi light is so advanced compared to other competitors. A single remote can control multiple Ape Labs lights including the maxi and the mini. The maxi is super bright and runs over 8 hours off a single charge. Well worth the money.
