The Ape Labs ApeLight Maxi V2 is a powerful, battery-operated spotlight that can be set up almost anywhere. With its IP65 certification and German build quality, this fanless LED spotlight is eminently suitable for outdoor use, as it's more or less impervious to wind and weather. It boasts a battery life of around 14 hours, and should more than that be necessary, it can of course run continuously on mains power – the necessary adapters being available separately. A 108W power supply unit and a pair of three-way adapter cables are supplied for charging the lamps, and the housing of the ApeLight Maxi V2 is made of stainless steel and has a scratch-resistant acrylic glass surface. Each unit is fitted with three built-in RGB-WW LEDs, each of which have a 15W output. The Maxi V2's optics give it a narrow, focused beam angle of 15 degrees.
The ApeLight Maxi V2 is ready to use as soon as it has been placed in its intended location, but it can also be permanently mounted thanks to the integrated bracket, which also functions as a kickstand. It can be controlled both via the remote control supplied and via a smartphone app using the CONNECT transceiver, which is sold separately; it's compatible both with wireless DMX and smart home KNX systems. The remote control has a range of up to 50 metres and, like the mobile app, offers complete control over the Maxi V2's colour and brightness settings, as well as managing up to four different groups – for example, if a number of spotlights are in use in different rooms. In addition to the various lighting effects and programmes, the ApeLight Maxi V2 also offers a very effective music mode, in which all connected devices light up in sync with the music being played.
The ApeLight Maxi V2 was designed with users like DJs, restaurateurs, caterers, wedding planners, and event organisers of all kinds in mind – indeed, anyone who wants to create an atmospheric or festive ambience in a commercial environment. When multiple units are used, they act reciprocally as signal repeaters, ensuring a stable wireless connection, while remaining effectively protected against unauthorised access thanks to the pairing function. Of course, there's nothing to stop creative users from enjoying the ApeLight Maxi V2 at home, too – perhaps to illuminate a vase of flowers or a painting. Thanks to its well-designed remote control, nobody needs to call on an experienced lighting technician to use the Maxi V2 to its full extent, while professionals will still benefit from the extended control options the app offers when used with the CONNECT transceiver, such lamp settings stored in the cloud and a range of other functions.
Ape Labs GmbH, based in Eisingen, design and develop battery-operated LED spotlights. The company was founded in 2007 by managing director Julius Shrenk, who has a strong background in stage technologies and knows the requirements of his customers precisely. Ape Labs are specialists in professional spotlights with a creative edge and design, and the company's focus is always on high-quality and affordable lighting products. The young team's portfolio offers a wide range of professional standard LED spotlights, among other solutions, but also caters for personal users. Ape Labs lighting products, first presented at Prolight & Sound in 2009, have been unanimously hailed by the press as being "among the most innovative of recent times". Since 2015, all Ape Labs products have also been manufactured in Germany.
The ApeLight Maxi V2 is a revised, updated model, and it scores highly thanks to its increased light output, an even more robust housing, and huge versatility. When used for uplighting or ambient lighting, the lamps will bathe galleries, shop windows, building facades, pathways, or indeed entire event spaces in beautiful, vivid colours; the individual lamps' compact size also makes them ideal as illuminated bases for transparent objects such as large beverage bottles in the hospitality industry. Individual instruments can be put centre stage during performances both indoors and outdoors, or the audience's attention can be focused on specific objects in theatres or other venues. Similarly, these practical LED lights are also immensely effective in visually enhancing an art exhibition or a trade fair stand, highlighting individual items or products. Each set of ApeLights can be safely transported and stored in the sturdy, water-repellent padded bag.
The Ape Labs CONNECT Bluetooth Wireless DMX Transceiver is a single, user-friendly tool for controlling all of the manufacturer's lighting devices in 16-bit resolution, either via the CONNECT app or a lighting console. This allows users to effortlessly and yet elegantly adjust all their Ape Labs LEDs without the need for long and inconvenient cables, creating an individual lighting design for the background of video shoots, large event spaces, or simply the user's own four walls. The CONNECT Bluetooth Wireless DMX Transceiver is easy to set up, requires no registration, and implements almost instantly the various features offered by ApeLight, LightCan, and similar services. The transceiver can be used with an external lighting console, but this isn't obligatory. With the specially developed and frequently updated CONNECT app, smartphone or tablet users have a flexible and powerful tool in their hands, letting everyone who uses the Ape Labs CONNECT Bluetooth Wireless DMX Transceiver feel like a professional lighting designer.
