FAQ

What does the amaran Spotlight SE Iris do?

It adds 18-leaf aperture control to a Spotlight SE setup, letting the user make the projected circle smaller, cleaner, and more precise for shapeable lighting.

Which Spotlight SE kits can use the iris?

The iris is listed with the Spotlight SE 19 degree and 36 degree kits, so it is for the amaran Spotlight SE projection modifier system rather than a standalone light.

When should I add the iris to a Spotlight SE kit?

Add the iris when the beam needs a more controlled round shape, a smaller highlight, a tighter background accent, or fast aperture changes during setup.

Does the iris replace gobos or shutters?

No. The iris controls aperture size and circular shape, while shutters cut edges and gobos create patterns. Many Spotlight SE setups use these controls together.

Should I buy the iris with the 19 degree or 36 degree lens?

Use it with either lens when aperture control matters. Pair it with 19 degree for tighter reach, or with 36 degree when the projected area should be wider.
