In a world where the safety of people, structures, and sensitive equipment is paramount, finding a reliable lightning protection system is critical. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor has emerged as the gold standard in lightning protection, offering unparalleled effectiveness in preventing lightning strike formation. Unlike traditional systems that attempt to mitigate damage after a strike, the CMCE takes a proactive approach, eliminating the possibility of lightning strikes altogether. 


Proven Effectiveness in Both Lab and Field 


The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is the only system on the market that is both lab and field-proven to prevent lightning formation. Its capabilities extend beyond mere claims—rigorous testing and real-world applications consistently validate its groundbreaking effectiveness. Whether protecting structures, outdoor areas, boats, or other vulnerable installations, the CMCE ensures peace of mind in even the most severe weather conditions. 


How the CMCE Works: The Power of Deionization 


The CMCE Lightning Suppressor’s effectiveness lies in its revolutionary deionization technology, which neutralizes the atmosphere’s electrical charge during a thunderstorm. As ionic charges build up in the atmosphere, the device actively absorbs and rearranges these excess charges, preventing the conditions necessary for lightning strike formation. The rearranged charges are then converted into harmless milliamps and safely grounded through an existing or newly installed grounding system, neutralizing the atmospheric electrical potential and eliminating the storm’s capability to produce lightning strikes in the protected area. 


The Most Advanced System Available Today 


The CMCE Lightning Suppressor stands as a superior system compared to traditional lightning rods and dissipation arrays. Traditional systems work by channeling lightning to the ground after a strike occurs, often resulting in damage to structures, equipment, and potentially endangering lives. The CMCE, however, eliminates the threat before it materializes, offering a level of protection unmatched in the industry. 


When it comes to safety, only the best will do. Invest in the CMCE Lightning Suppressor and enjoy peace of mind for years to come.

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.
