Protecting Structures from Lightning Strikes Has Never Been Easier

When it comes to safeguarding structures against lightning strikes, the complexity and material requirements of traditional systems often pose significant challenges. However, a groundbreaking innovation is changing the landscape of lightning protection: the CMCE Lightning Suppressor. This advanced lightning solution simplifies installation by combining large coverage with minimal requirements, making it the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.

Simplified Installation with a Single Device

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is designed to streamline the installation process, addressing one of the most common pain points in lightning protection. Traditional systems require an extensive network of components, including lightning rods, conductors, and grounding electrodes. In contrast, the CMCE device consolidates these functions into a single, compact unit, drastically reducing the complexity of installation.

Minimal Material Requirements

The reduced need for materials is a key advantage of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor. Traditional lightning protection systems demand a significant amount of metal conductors, connectors, and grounding rods, driving up both costs and installation time. The CMCE device, however, requires only a fraction of these materials, making it a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. This reduction in materials not only lowers expenses but also minimizes labor.

Quick and Easy Integration

The ease of integrating the CMCE Lightning Suppressor into existing structures and grounding systems is another compelling benefit. Its compact design allows for quick attachment to buildings and existing grounding systems without the need for extensive modifications or specialized labor. This simplicity ensures minimal disruption to daily operations and significantly reduces the time required to achieve full lightning protection.

Investing in CMCE Lightning Suppression means choosing a future where lightning protection is no longer a complex or costly endeavor. With its wide coverage, minimal material requirements, and straightforward installation, the CMCE ensures that protecting your structure from lightning strikes has never been easier.

Lightning-Free Living: The Invisible Shield Protecting Olympus Harbour Island

By Rachel Rowland • May 23, 2025

Luxury Living, Elevated Olympus Property is a nationally recognized leader in luxury multifamily living, known for managing and developing high-end residential communities across the United States. With a strong emphasis on lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value, Olympus Property has built a reputation for excellence in both service and innovation. One of its standout communities, Olympus Harbour Island , is a prime example of upscale urban living. Located on Tampa’s exclusive Harbour Island, this waterfront property offers resort-style amenities, panoramic city views, and proximity to downtown attractions, all while maintaining an air of refined tranquility. Olympus Harbour Island’s Vulnerability to Strikes The premium location that makes Olympus Harbour Island so desirable also places it at a heightened risk for lightning strikes. Tampa, Florida, is widely regarded as the “Lightning Capital of North America,” experiencing some of the highest lightning strike densities in the country. With Harbour Island’s exposure to open water and its array of tall, modern structures, the community faced real vulnerability to lightning-related damage. These risks included power surges, potential fire hazards, structural damage, and service disruptions—each of which could compromise resident safety, operational integrity, and the luxury living experience Olympus strives to uphold. Game-Changing Protection: CMCE Lightning Suppression To address these concerns, Olympus Property installed the advanced CMCE Lightning Suppressors at Olympus Harbour Island . Specifically, the property is now protected with a CMCE-120 and a CMCE-55 , covering 600,000 square feet total. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to redirect a strike to the ground, the CMCE is engineered to prevent lightning formation altogether. It works by balancing the electrical field and deionizing the surrounding atmosphere, effectively eliminating the conditions necessary for lightning to form. In doing so, the CMCE creates an invisible shield—like a protective dome—over the covered area, ensuring that lightning simply cannot develop or strike within its coverage area. Prevention Over Reaction: The Benefits of CMCE This proactive and preventative approach aligns with Olympus Property’s dedication to forward-thinking solutions and resident safety. By installing the CMCE-120 and CMCE-55 Lightning Suppressors , Olympus Harbour Island has eliminated its exposure to lightning threats, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for residents and safeguarding the property’s critical infrastructure.
