Ape Labs Can 2.0 IP Review

Exploring the Ape Labs Can 2.0 IP: Our Favorite Features and Accessory Guide

 

We proudly endorse the German-made Ape Labs brand lighting and for good reasons. The top-notch quality, user-friendly design, and the unique ambiance the light creates all contribute. The Musik Mode, exclusive to Ape Labs, has been revolutionary for us, widening the range of unique options we can offer to clients and retail customers.

The Maxi has long been the star of Ape Labs’ lineup, overshadowing the Ape Can—a pioneering product for the brand. However, with the introduction of the brighter and more impactful 2.0 IP versions, the Ape Can is set to reclaim the spotlight.

 

Why do we LOVE the Ape Labs Can 2.0?

 

The 2.0 version’s increased brightness, nine additional colors, and a 15-degree optics kit accessory make it potentially the most versatile and best-value wireless LED light on the market. All features are controlled by a palm-sized wireless remote or smartphone app. While most people use it to create an elegant, unique decor-style look against a wall with its Fresnel lens, there’s much more to this light.

 

Here are accessories you might not know about that enhance its versatility:

 

#1 –The swivel ball adaptor

This accessory screws into the bottom of the can, featuring a swivel ball and a magnet for attaching and directing the light toward walls, ceilings, or other areas.

#2 –The 15-degree optics kit (25 and 45 degrees available too)

 

By swapping out the Fresnel lens with this wider, more direct lens kit, you essentially get a lower-cost, more flexible MINI 2.0.

#3 – The Table Tube and Dome adaptors

 

These polycarbonate tops transform the Ape Labs Can into a centerpiece for tables or a light source that dancers, MCs, or guests can interact with—making your lighting an engaging part of the event.

#4 – The Pinspot Adaptor

 

This accessory allows you to create a focused 7-degree pin spot effect, maximizing the Can’s potential. Combined with the swivel ball adaptor, it turns your Can into a powerful beam that’s perfect for a variety of applications.

 

Final Thoughts:

 

These are just some of the ways we’ve used the Ape Labs Can 2.0 IP and its accessories. Once you try them, you’ll feel like a painter given a new set of colors—but instead of paint, we’re using wash and effect light as DJs and event professionals. Don’t overlook the CAN 2.0 – it’s more than adequate for rooms with 20′ ceilings or less, and it’s a cost-effective solution.
