Learn More About the CMCE System
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CMCE system reflects a broader trend among proactive property managers and condo boards who are no longer settling for outdated lightning rod systems that simply redirect damage rather than preventing it.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.

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.
