The Future is Here Benjamin Franklin: Lightning Strikes Are Now Preventable

For centuries, lightning has posed a significant risk to buildings, infrastructure, and outdoor environments. Traditional methods, such as lightning rods, attempt to mitigate the damage caused by strikes — but what if we could prevent them altogether? The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is a superior technology that does just that. No longer do we have to accept lightning strikes as an inevitable force of nature. The future of lightning protection has arrived, and it is more effective, durable, and reliable than ever before.

Beyond Traditional Protection

In 1752, Benjamin Franklin conducted his famous kite experiment, proving that lightning was a form of electricity. This discovery led to the invention of the lightning rod, a device designed to attract and channel lightning strikes to the ground. While revolutionary at the time, lightning rods operate on a reactionary principle — waiting for lightning to strike before channeling its immense energy. This method does nothing to stop lightning formation, leaving structures vulnerable to potential damage, fires, and electrical surges.

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor takes a proactive approach by preventing lightning strike formation over a protected area. Lab-tested and field-proven, this advanced system neutralizes the electrical charge buildup that leads to lightning strikes. By balancing the atmosphere, the CMCE device effectively eliminates the conditions necessary for lightning to form, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

Proven, Durable, and Reliable

Unlike traditional lightning rod systems that require routine maintenance and costly repairs, the CMCE is designed for long-term performance. Built with durability in mind, it withstands harsh environmental conditions while continuing to provide consistent protection year after year. Its reliability has been validated through extensive field studies and real-world applications, making it the superior choice for those who prioritize safety and asset protection.

The Clear Choice for Modern Protection

As technology advances, so should our approach to lightning protection. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor safeguards people and property, eliminating risks, and preventing costly damages. There is no longer a need to settle for outdated methods when a superior, scientifically proven system exists.

Protect your investments with the most advanced lightning protection system available today. The choice is clear — embrace the future of lightning protection with CMCE and never worry about lightning strikes again.

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.
