The Holosun IRIS delivers dual-spectrum laser capability in a compact package, combining visible green and infrared laser outputs for versatility across day and night operations. This advanced laser sight provides precise target designation whether operating under natural light conditions or with night vision equipment.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-spectrum laser sights, the IRIS features co-aligned visible green and infrared laser diodes that maintain zero consistency between modes. The green laser operates at 532nm wavelength for maximum visibility in daylight conditions, while the infrared beam at 850nm remains invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible through night vision devices. This dual capability eliminates the need for separate laser units when transitioning between day and night operations.
Key Features
- Dual-spectrum output: visible green (532nm) and infrared (850nm) lasers
- Co-aligned laser diodes maintain consistent zero between modes
- Ambidextrous activation switches accommodate left and right-handed operators
- Picatinny rail mounting system fits standard MIL-STD-1913 rails
- Aircraft-grade aluminum housing with Type III hard anodized finish
- IPX7 waterproof rating withstands submersion up to 1 meter
- CR123A battery provides up to 2 hours continuous runtime
Field testing demonstrates effective green laser visibility up to 25 yards in bright sunlight and over 100 yards in low-light conditions. The infrared mode integrates seamlessly with Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision systems for covert target designation. Operating temperature range of -20°F to 140°F ensures reliable function across extreme environmental conditions. The unit maintains zero stability through repeated recoil cycles on platforms up to .308 Winchester.
