Holosun
IRIS-ARC VCSEL Adjustable Beam IR Light - Scout Mount
The Holosun IRIS
ARC is a compact tactical IR illuminator built on VCSEL
technology, delivering adjustable infrared output from 20-260 mW with stepless
beam divergence of 3° to 40° (up to 600 MRAD flood) for night vision users
needing precise light control on rifles. Its top-mounted slider enables instant
transitions from narrow spot for mid-range target illumination to wide flood
for CQB room clearing, all powered by a single CR123A battery in a 7075-T6
aluminum housing with IPX8 submersion and 1000G shock resistance. Compatible
with Scout-pattern mounts on Picatinny or M-LOK, it activates via rear button
or included Crane Plug remote pad for seamless integration in hunting, sport
shooting, or airsoft night ops.
Key Performance Benefits
VCSEL emitter produces uniform, artifact-free IR beams that maintain intensity
across adjustments, outperforming traditional LEDs in clarity under NVGs
without hotspots or washout. Stepless power and angle control (via slider)
adapts to distances from 50-500m, while integrated position sensors
auto-regulate output for consistent performance. Hard-anodized body withstands
extreme recoil and weather, weighing just 116g for minimal forward weight bias
on tactical rifles.

Practical Use Cases
Hunters pair it with NV clip-ons for focused 3° spot lighting distant game
trails without spooking, flipping to 40° flood for tracking in brush. In
airsoft night games or sport shooting, the wide beam clears urban mockups,
while mid-range 10-20° settings highlight steel targets at 200m. Tactical rifle
setups on ARs use the Crane pad for gloved activation during low-light
maneuvers, holding zero through sustained fire.
Installation and Maintenance
Secure to Scout-pattern rail forward of your optic; torque M-LOK/Picatinny
screws to 20 in-lbs using included tool. Adjust beam slider for spot/flood,
dial power via rear dial for NV bloom control, test under NVG at 50m. Clean
lens with microfiber after dust exposure; swap CR123A via base plate without
tools. Shipping from Split, Croatia across the EU at competitive prices—order
your Holosun IRIS ARC now from Professional Optics for superior night vision
control.
Value Proposition
Night vision pros rely on its compact VCSEL precision and bombproof build for
mission-critical illumination—versatile output without bulk or complexity. Buy today for
dominance in the dark.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the beam adjustment work in practice? The top slider provides tactile, stepless
control from 3° tight spot for 300m+ reach to 40° flood covering
room-sized areas, auto-regulating power to prevent NV washout.
- Is it compatible with all night vision devices? Yes, Class 3R VCSEL IR output pairs
seamlessly with Gen 2/3 NVGs or clip-ons, adjustable 20-260 mW avoids
over-illumination for PVS-14 to high-end units.
- Does the remote switch integrate with existing
pads? The Crane Plug connects to standard remote
ports, enabling momentary/constant activation without grip changes on your
rifle.
- Rugged enough for full-auto or heavy recoil? IPX8 sealing and 1000G rating endure
submersion, drops, and AR-15/10 sustained fire without beam shift or
failure.
- Battery life under heavy use? CR123A lasts 4-8 hours at max output; lower
settings extend to 20+ hours, with low-battery indicator for field swaps.
