Iris Gr Ir Laser Fde

The Holosun IRIS-GR3-FDE is a triple-function rifle laser and infrared illumination system that combines a 5mW green visible laser, a 0.7mW infrared laser and a 60mW VCSEL IR illuminator. Its compact FDE housing brings those three functions together with adjustable illuminator focus, selectable intensity and onboard ambidextrous activation. This is the green-laser, Flat Dark Earth configuration of the IRIS system.

A two-button remote activation switch with a visible-laser override function is included. The device uses a CR123A battery and a 7075-T6 aluminum housing, with a weight of 6.4 ounces and dimensions of 3.2 x 1.97 x 1.34 inches. For buyers comparing laser-and-illuminator combinations, this package combines multiple functions and both onboard and remote controls.

IRIS stands for Integrated Rifle Infrared System. The IRIS-GR3-FDE combines a green visible laser pointer, an infrared laser pointer and an infrared illuminator in one housing. The visible and infrared laser functions provide aiming references, while the illuminator supplies infrared illumination for compatible night vision use.

The outputs are distinct: 5mW for the green laser, 0.7mW for the IR laser and 60mW for the IR illuminator. Keeping those specifications separate matters when comparing devices. The 60mW figure describes the illuminator, not the infrared aiming laser. This three-function configuration should be evaluated as a laser-and-infrared-illumination system.

The VCSEL IR illuminator combines a 60mW output specification with quick-adjustable focus. Variable power and a focus slide switch provide controls for tailoring infrared illumination, rather than limiting the device to one fixed presentation. A high/low intensity selector adds a direct choice between intensity levels.

Focus and intensity address different aspects of the illumination. Focus changes the beam's spread, while the intensity selector changes its output level. For a buyer choosing a specialized infrared system, having both controls is an important distinction from a fixed-focus or single-intensity design.
