Why Galt Ocean Club Condos Chose CMCE Over Traditional Lightning Rods 

Situated directly along the scenic shoreline of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Galt Ocean Club Condominiums is a premier high-rise residential building offering luxury coastal living with resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy oceanfront views, private beach access, a heated pool, fitness center, sauna, 24/7 security, covered parking, and close proximity to fine dining and shopping along the famed Galt Ocean Mile. 

The Galt Ocean Club has made a forward-thinking investment in building safety and resilience by installing the CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressor — an advanced lightning protection system designed to prevent lightning strikes from forming altogether.

A Smarter Choice in Lightning Protection 

In South Florida, one of the most lightning-prone regions in the country, traditional lightning rods simply aren’t enough. While rods wait for a strike to occur and then direct that energy to ground, they do nothing to prevent the strike itself—leaving buildings exposed to electrical surges, side-flash damage, and risk to occupants. 

Galt Ocean Club Condos has chosen the CMCE Lightning Suppressor to address these vulnerabilities. The CMCE system represents a new generation of lightning protection, one that actively neutralizes the surrounding electromagnetic field around a structure to prevent a lightning channel from forming in the first place. It’s a preventative approach—not just a defensive one.

Why Commercial Properties Are Choosing the CMCE

By installing the CMCE Lightning Suppressor, Galt Ocean Club Condominiums now benefits from: 

  • Preventative Protection: Rather than waiting for a strike, the CMCE suppresses the buildup of electrical potential in the air, eliminating the likelihood of a lightning strike entirely. 
  • Large Coverage Area: One CMCE-120 device protects 500,000 square feet, making it ideal for expansive structures like high-rise condos, hotels, and industrial facilities. 
  • Non-Invasive Design: The device integrates with existing infrastructure without needing rooftop rods, cabling networks, or intrusive mounting systems. 
  • Minimal Maintenance: Once installed by a licensed professional, the CMCE system requires minimal maintenance. 
  • Compliance and Certification: The CMCE has achieved key third-party certifications, including Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Certification, validating its reliability and performance in marine and structural environments.
Confidence in Innovation

Galt Ocean Club’s adoption of the CMCE system reflects a broader trend among proactive property managers and condo boards who are no longer settling for outdated lightning rod systems that simply redirect damage rather than preventing it. 

By trusting in the innovation, science, and proven performance of the CMCE system, Galt Ocean Club not only safeguards its infrastructure but also protects the safety and comfort of its residents—permanently.
