HOLOSUN IRIS-ARC VCSEL infrared illuminator

The HOLOSUN IRIS-ARC is a high-performance, compact infrared illuminator developed to complement night vision devices. It uses VCSEL technology to provide a uniform, adjustable infrared beam, allowing the illumination to be adapted for both close-range observation and longer-distance scenarios.

One of its main features is the beam adjustment system via a top sliding selector, which allows for the progressive modification of the illumination angle from a focused 3° spot to a wide 40° flood. In this way, a single illuminator can be quickly adapted to different distances and fields of view.

Infrared power is also adjustable between 20 and 260 mW, providing a wide range of adjustment. The entire system is integrated into a rugged 7075-T6 aluminum housing with IPX8 protection and a compact format measuring just 115 mm in length.

Main features:

VCSEL IR Illuminator: Provides uniform infrared illumination optimized for use with compatible night vision devices.

Adjustable power: Allows infrared output to be adjusted from 20 to 260 mW.

Adjustable 3° to 40° beam: Allows shifting from highly concentrated illumination to a wide field.

Top sliding control: Facilitates quick beam width adjustment during use.

Spot mode: Approximately 3° configuration to concentrate illumination.

Flood mode: Progressively widens the beam up to approximately 40° to cover a larger surface area.

Aspherical optical system: Maintains good beam uniformity during the transition between Spot and Flood settings.

Dual activation system: Can be operated via the rear push-button or the included remote switch.

Crane connection: Compatible with remote switch systems that use this standard.

Scout interface: Allows the use of various mounts compatible with the Scout pattern.

CR123A power supply: Operates on a single replaceable battery.

7075-T6 aluminum construction: Provides high structural strength while maintaining a compact format.

Anodized finish: Increases exterior resistance to wear and tear.

IPX8 protection: Sealed housing designed to withstand demanding environmental conditions.

1,000 G vibration resistance: Designed to maintain operation under intensive use.

Compact design: Its approximately 115 mm body allows for easy integration with other accessories.
