The Amaran 18-Leaf Iris for Spotlight SE is a precision lighting control accessory designed for cinematographers, studio photographers, gaffer technicians, and LED lighting professionals who demand exact beam shaping in their setups. Compatible with the Amaran Spotlight SE 19° and 36° Lens Kits, this 18-blade iris insert slides into the Spotlight SE system to give you stepless aperture control of your light beam — transforming your fixture from a broad flood to a razor-sharp, hard-edged circle with a single smooth adjustment.
The 18-leaf iris diaphragm creates an exceptionally smooth, near-perfect circular aperture at any setting, a direct result of having 18 blades (far more than a standard 4- or 6-blade iris). This means your beam edges remain clean and well-defined regardless of how open or closed the aperture is set. The iris integrates seamlessly into the Spotlight SE's existing lens barrel, working in tandem with both the 19° and 36° Spotlight SE lens options to give you a complete range of beam angles with precise aperture control at each focal length. The Spotlight SE system — and by extension this iris — is built around the Amaran/Aputure Bowens-compatible ecosystem, making it straightforward to incorporate into existing Amaran lighting rigs.
This iris accessory excels in three key professional applications: theatrical and stage lighting, where hard-edged pools of light need to be precisely scaled without spilling onto backgrounds or talent; studio portrait and product photography, where a perfectly circular highlight or controlled key light gives images a signature cinematic quality; and film and commercial production, where gaffer teams use iris-controlled Fresnels and spotlights to sculpt and isolate light on specific areas of a scene. The 18-Leaf Iris for Spotlight SE effectively transforms your LED panel into a professional-grade ellipsoidal-style fixture at a fraction of the cost.

Yes, the Amaran 18-Leaf Iris for Spotlight SE is in stock at Film Gear Canada's Vancouver warehouse and available for immediate shipping across Canada or in-store pickup at our Vancouver location.
Which Spotlight SE lens kits is this iris compatible with?

What is the advantage of an 18-leaf iris over a standard 4- or 6-blade iris?
An 18-leaf iris produces a significantly rounder, smoother aperture opening compared to 4- or 6-blade designs, which tend to create polygonal shapes. The result is cleaner, more even beam edges across all aperture settings — critical for professional cinema and stage lighting applications.
