The Holosun IRIS-RD3 combines precision red dot optics with integrated VCSEL infrared illumination for enhanced target acquisition in all lighting conditions. This dual-purpose sight system delivers reliable performance for tactical applications requiring both visible and IR capabilities.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard red dot sights, the IRIS-RD3 integrates a VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) infrared illuminator directly into the optic housing. This eliminates the need for separate IR devices while maintaining a compact footprint. The system provides simultaneous red dot aiming and IR flood illumination, reducing equipment complexity and potential failure points.
Key Features
- Integrated VCSEL IR illuminator with adjustable output power
- 2 MOA red dot reticle with 12 brightness settings
- Solar panel backup power with Shake Awake technology
- Picatinny rail mount compatible with standard 1913 rails
- Multi-coated lenses with anti-reflective coating
- IP67 waterproof rating for adverse weather conditions
- 50,000-hour battery life on medium brightness setting
Field performance demonstrates consistent zero retention through temperature extremes and recoil stress. The IR illuminator provides effective target identification at ranges up to 100 meters when paired with night vision devices. Battery consumption remains minimal due to the efficient VCSEL technology and automatic brightness adjustment features.
