Due to dramatically improved optics, the Mini 2.0 is very close to the brightness of the original Maxi v1 (which was extremely popular before the Maxi 2.0 came out). So it is bright enough to use for most uplighting applications. Plus, the Mini Tube accessory makes it a game changer as it can morph into a totally new effect in seconds.
The Ape Labs Mini 2.0 is a versatile LED par light designed for both wireless uplighting as well as 360° tube effect lighting (optional accessory). With its robust IP65 rating, it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The unit features a super efficient 15-watt RGBaW LED which has similar LUX output to most 40-watt LED uplights. Due to its Khatod optic and high-end LED components, it offers rich color mixing, vibrancy and high CRI, making it a great choice for professionals. Want to try a sample?
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 Mini 2.0 is engineered to deliver exceptional lighting performance in a compact form factor. With a 15-watt RGBaW LED, this fixture offers rich and vivid color mixing, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. The IP65 rating ensures durability in both indoor and outdoor environments. The Mini 2.0 also features a long-lasting rechargeable battery, providing up to 12 hours of operation on a single charge. It’s a perfect choice for professionals looking for reliability and versatility in their lighting setups.
Ape Labs is known to "Keep it Simple" when it comes to controlling lights. A beginner with no instructions can typically operate an Ape Labs fixture within seconds of picking up an ApeRemote or opening the app. But its simplicity does not lack in features. Two of the most famous features are "Grouping" and "MusikMode".
Grouping allows the user to create DMX-Like shows on the fly by grouping any number of mixed & matched Ape Labs SKUs on up to four groups. Then being able to control groups individually or universally.
MusikMode will automatically create a music-based light show with the press of a button. It uses proprietary technology that analyzes the sound in the room and total number of Ape Labs fixtures to build a constantly evolving light show. Just don't call it "Sound Active".

When comparing Ape Labs LUX values to competitor values, make sure to look at single color ratings. If only a single LUX value is given for a fixture, it's most likely an "All On" rating. This means that every color is combined when rating.
The Ape Labs Mini 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 |
| 10° | 1,770 | 545 | 1,790 | 515 | 2,300 | 933 | 3,460 | 809 |
| 15° | 1,503 | 402 | 1,400 | 355 | 2,290 | 422 | 2,970 | 712 |
| 25° | 565 | 126 | 455 | 100 | 602 | 133 | 1,004 | 215 |
