Lightning is a flash of light that accompanies a high-tension natural electric discharge in the atmosphere. With the construction of higher structures in lightning prone areas, there has been significant progress in the quest to improve the protection of these structures against lightning.

Direct or indirect lightning strikes have caused reactor trips in nuclear power generating stations. If nuclear power generating stations do not have adequate lightning protection and grounding, such stations may be exposed to greater risk of loss of offsite power, fire, and damage to equipment engi…
For superior lightning protection, a design is the first thing you will need.
From technical review to an extensive site survey; an LEC engineer will be able to help you determine the most effective protection system for your facility. Our process for lightning protection design is as follows:
…Lightning happens! While it can be a spectacular phenomenon to witness, it can also cause damage to property, structures, and even be fatal to human life. Without a doubt, expenses from lightning damage can be substantial—especially for companies whose equipment is installed on tall structures.
…Protection against direct strikes on structures such as telecommunication relay towers and other towers require the installations of an air terminal near the tip or on top of the tower and an installation of an efficient earthing connector to the ground.

Data Center - A boon in improved communication, data storage, and business efficiency. But, it has also introduced a new area of vulnerability. There are potentially expensive concerns to consider where it relates to lightning strikes. The equipment and infrastructure in such a facility, which inclu…
Lightning is an age-old problem with protection solutions dating back to 1755 when Dr. Benjamin Franklin experimented with lightning protection and discovered that a sharp point dissipates charge. This discovery led to the grounding rod which is still in use today.
Established in 1981, LEC is ded…
What is a lightning protection system?
“There is no product or scientific method capable of modifying a natural phenomenon. Our lightning protection systems simply prevent a lightning to strike within the protected area.”
Our lightning protection systems are designed to protect a facil…

All You Need To Know About Lightning And Lightning Rod
Today, every building is equipped with many sensitive electronic system thus they need to be protected from any unforeseen damage such as a lightning strike. This is the reason more people are installing lightning rod than ever before. And as every structure is vulnerable to lightning damage, a ligh…
Lightning rod carries the harmful electrically charged cloud away from any facility or structure, safely to the ground. It has the ability to handle enormous electrical current associated with a lightning strike.
This tried and tested method has been protecting buildings and its occupants sin…
Lightning is an unpredictable phenomenon. Each year thousands of properties are destructed and damaged globally by lightning strikes. Lightning damage in the US alone cost over 5 billion-dollars annually. A properly installed lightning system can safeguard and prevent damage up to 98%. Over the year…
