Contribution from the irradiated secondary component is detected in the light curves of five dwarf novae observed during superoutbursts. Their superhump light curves show that irradiation is modulated with the superhump phase. This strengthens the new interpretation of superhumps as being due to the irradiation controlled mass transfer rate resulting in modulated dissipation of the kinetic energy of the stream.
