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.
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.)
The Ape Labs Maxi 2.0 IP is designed for professionals who demand the highest level of performance and versatility in their lighting fixtures. The AmberWhite LED technology introduces a new dimension of color warmth and reproduction, making the Maxi 2.0 an indispensable tool for creating immersive environments.
The fixture’s robust design and IP65 rating ensure reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor settings, while its solid-state, fanless operation guarantees silent and efficient performance. Whether used for uplighting, stage lighting, or ambient lighting, the Maxi 2.0’s reengineered optics deliver exceptional brightness and color fidelity.
The integration of adjustable beam angles and multiple color presets allows users to tailor the light output to their specific needs, making the Maxi 2.0 suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the adjustable PWM via smartphone app ensures flicker-free operation, essential for professional video recording and live events.
With its intuitive controls and compatibility with the Ape Labs Ecosystem, the Maxi 2.0 offers DMX-like control via grouping, allowing for complex lighting setups without the need for extensive programming. This makes it an ideal choice for both seasoned professionals and those new to event lighting.
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 2.0 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:
| Color | aW | aW | R | R | G | G | B | B |
| Distance | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m | 1m | 2m |
