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.)

Ape Labs Maxi 2.0 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 2.0 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:

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.
