Shotgun Laser Sight 10X:  "10X" is not a pwer rating but a "Visibility Rating",
based on the wavelength of the emitter.

Sur-C Lens Data

The "SUR-C™" lens is a custom made diffractive lens designed to
produce an illuminated field around the red laser dot.

When shooting in low light conditions shooters can actually see the target they are shooting at. Additionally, the shooters adjusted night vision is not hampered by the use of an additional lighting source. As a result, shooters will engage targets more rapidly and accurately than ever in low light shooting situations.

The "SUR-C™" lens is mounted in a custom-fit, injection molded rubber cover that fits snugly
over the laser housing and can be easily removed during brighter light conditions. 

Sur-C harnesses some of the lasers powerful energy to illuminate the target
while maintaining a sharp laser dot on the target.

The table below indicates the advantages of using a laser sight with the Sur-C Lens Attachment
over the use of a laser sight only or no laser sight at all.

Here is a view of a late night home intruder situation.
You can't be sure of whom
you might be shooting.

 
Here is the same situation
using a laser sight only.
Even though the aim is true, it is still difficult to distinguish between intruders and family members.
Here is the same situation using a Laser Sight with the SUR-C Lens.
Now the intruder is easily distinguished from family members and rapidly dealt with.
