PEACHTREE CITY, GA, March 12, 2026 - Cooper Lighting Solutions today announced the relaunch of IRiS, its premium architectural downlighting platform, beginning with a new 3-inch family designed for luxury residential and hospitality applications. Available immediately, IRiS returns as a fully reengineered system built to meet the expectations of today’s most demanding lighting designers.
IRiS has been rebuilt from the ground up—not updated. The platform introduces a new level of post-installation control, allowing designers to refine ceiling depth and reduce glare even after the space is complete. Light holds its intention. The ceiling stays quiet.
Field-interchangeable silicone optics transform IRiS into a platform for shaping light, not just placing it. From narrow, controlled beams to wide, immersive washes, designers can move in precise 5° increments from 8° to 70°, delivering light exactly where it belongs. Asymmetric distributions extend that control further, revealing texture, form, and architecture with clarity and restraint.
A refined range of flanged and trimless options allows IRiS to disappear into the ceiling or quietly frame the aperture—supporting precise beam control while maintaining a calm, uninterrupted plane.
Trimless (knife-edge) options, engineered for both plaster-in and millwork applications, create a seamless, aperture-only expression. Microflange and flanged trims introduce a subtle visual edge where desired, while a curated palette of premium finishes shapes the final impression the light leaves in the space.
A complete range of housings supports both new construction and remodel applications, including shallow and ultra-shallow options for constrained plenums. Install-from-below configurations simplify challenging conditions, while full serviceability from below protects the finished ceiling.
IRiS delivers 250 to 2,400 lumens at 1 SDCM and up to 98 CRI, providing exceptional color accuracy and consistency. Available technologies include Dim-to-Warm, tunable white, BioUp™ melanopic lighting, and RGBW, with driver options supporting integration with WaveLinx and Lutron® Athena systems.
IRiS was always about the design of the space, not the fixture. With this platform, we finally have the control and integration to let the light settle in exactly as intended.Cheryl Fabian, IRiS Product Leader, Cooper Lighting Solutions
Originally known for defining small-aperture architectural downlighting, IRiS returns as a platform designed to meet the precision, flexibility, and performance requirements of contemporary luxury residential and hospitality environments.
The 3-inch family is the first release in a planned multi-aperture rollout. Additional 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch families are currently in development, all built on the same platform architecture and design language.
IRiS is available now with specification sheets, application imagery, and sample cases available through Cooper Lighting Solutions agents. For product information and agent contacts, visit cooperlighting.com/IRiS.
