Housed in a rugged aluminum and steel chassis, the CONNECT features a massive 50-hour battery life and an incredible 1,200-metre range, making it an essential tool for mobile DJs, event planners, and production companies who demand 100% wireless reliability.

Advanced Mobile Management When paired with the Ape Labs mobile app, the CONNECT transforms your smartphone into a professional lighting console. You can organize your fixtures into specific "Theme Groups," assign individual names to every light, and access a library of pre-saved lighting programs. This makes it incredibly easy to set a corporate colour or create a high-energy dancefloor show in seconds.
Universal Compatibility The CONNECT is designed to be the "linking mechanism" for your entire lighting inventory.
