The Lightning Detector counts lightning strikes, giving you a fascinating new perspective on the electrical storms in your area. It is based on a design by Tim Bitson. The lightning detector needs to be well grounded. We house ours in a length of PVC pipe, which is inexpensive and easy to assemble.

With the 24" antenna this lightning detector will be able to pick up lightning more than 50 miles away. This device comes with dual RJ45 connectors for easy connection to your 1-wire network. This is a fully assembled and tested unit.

The Lightning Detector requires a 9v battery (not included), this battery should last for at least a couple of years. It does not require any additional external power.

Note: The new design of the Lightning Detector helps cut down on the number of false strikes that happen to some of our customers in Europe.
