For lightweight lighting anywhere

The Ape Labs LightCan V2 is a powerful, battery-powered RGB LED spotlight that can be placed almost anywhere. The shape and size of a typical energy drink can, the rainproof lights are also suitable for outdoor use, thanks too to their German-made build quality: The lamps' housing is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium, ensuring exceptional durability and robustness. Each LightCan provides a battery life of around ten hours at full brightness. The single LightCan sold here can only be used to expand an existing set, as it comes without any of the necessary accessories like a power supply or remote control.

Ape Labs LightCan, single unit

Manual or remote operation

The Ape Labs LightCan V2 can be placed on the floor, a table, a shelf – anywhere light is needed. They can also be mounted using the M6 thread on their base or with a range of compatible accessories. Control is flexible, either via the remote (not included) or with the Ape Labs smartphone app. App control requires the separately available Ape Labs Connect transceiver, which enables wireless DMX operation and integration with KNX-based smart home systems. The remote has a range of up to 50 metres, and like the app provides full control over the LightCans' colour and brightness, along with a practical four-group management function for organising multiple units across different areas. A selection of lighting effects and programmes is also available, along with Music Mode, where the LightCans respond to sound via their built-in microphone, creating a dynamic, music-driven experience.

Easy to use in any setting

This full set of Ape Labs' second-gen LightCans will appeal primarily to DJs, restaurateurs, caterers, wedding planners, and event organisers looking to create an atmospheric ambience in commercial settings, although of course they're just as suitable for home use, whether for parties, barbecues, or as permanent decorative lighting. With the easy-to-use remote control, there's no need for technical expertise to get the most out of the LightCans; operation is simple and accessible. For professional users, extended control is available via the app when paired with the Connect interface, allowing individual lamp settings to be stored in the cloud, alongside integration with DMX consoles or DMX software for more advanced lighting control.

About Ape Labs

Ape Labs is based in Eisingen, Germany, and designs and develops battery-operated LED spotlights. The company was founded in 2007 by managing director Julius Shrenk, who has spent his whole life working with stage technologies, so he 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 the consumer market. Ape Labs lighting products, first presented at Prolight & Sound in 2009, were 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.

Let there be light!

Anyone who has ever thrown even a house party – and certainly a more involved function – knows how much the right lighting can elevate the mood and atmosphere: And the Ape Labs LightCan V2 makes it easy to transform a dull back garden or an uninviting warehouse into a vibrant event space. Because the number of LightCans that can be used together is virtually unlimited, and because they can also be managed in four different groups, it couldn't be easier to bring stages, shop windows, galleries, facades, garden paths, or dance floors to life in glowing new colours. With the range of separately available accessories, the LightCans can also be used as table lamps or as freestanding columns, while USB power adapters and compatible cables are available for continuous mains operation, ensuring both flexibility and reliability.

Klein, stark, vielseitig.
Die Akkus halten sehr lange. Die Farben sind schön. Die Steuerung ist relativ zuverlässig (beim Einsatz von fast 70 Ape Lampen flackert ab und mal einer).
... und die Dosen passen einfach überall hin!
... und sind ziemlich stabil (Sturz aus ca. 2,20m Höhe auf Fliesenboden, Ergebnis: eine Batterie war aus der Lagerung gerutscht - einfach wieder reingedrückt).
