SkyScan™ Lightning Detector

Knowing the average lightning strike is 6 miles long, and that thunder can generally be heard over a distance of 3-4 miles, it isn’t very difficult to understand why many lightning deaths and injuries occur with clear skies overhead. The compact SkyScan Lightning/Storm detector uses a fully digital microprocessor enclosed in a weather resistant ABS case to scan for the electronic traces of a lightning storm. By using separate audible and visual alerts, the SkyScan detector is able to give you the approximate distance of an existing storm in miles (0-3, 3-8, 8-20, 20-40). By recognizing the progression of the storm distances, you can tell if the storm is approaching directly or just passing by.
