Stop Attracting Lightning Strikes When They Can Be Prevented

In today's world, lightning strikes significantly threaten people, property, and infrastructure. A single strike can result in costly damage, safety hazards, and in some cases, catastrophic outcomes. While traditional lightning protection systems may mitigate the damage of a strike, wouldn't it be better if you could prevent the strike altogether?

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is not just another lightning rod or conductor. It is an advanced lightning protection system designed to prevent lightning formation over structures, boats, and outdoor areas of all sizes. Through a revolutionary process known as deionization, the CMCE device neutralizes the electrical charges in the atmosphere that are responsible for forming lightning strikes.

How Deionization Works

To understand why the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is so effective, it's essential to grasp the science behind deionization. During a thunderstorm, electrical charges accumulate in the atmosphere. As these charges grow stronger, the likelihood of lightning strikes increases. Traditional lightning rods attract these charges, drawing them safely to structures, but they still allow the strike to occur.

The CMCE device takes a proactive approach by removing excess built-up of electrical charges from the atmosphere around the installation area. This process prevents the conditions that cause lightning formation in the first place. The CMCE continuously deionizes the surrounding area, discharging and neutralizing dangerous electric fields. This disrupts the development of the electrical streamers necessary for lightning to strike, providing a protective shield over the area of installation.

Why the CMCE is the Most Effective LPS

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is a game-changer in lightning protection, far superior to traditional methods. Here’s why:

Prevention, Not Mitigation: Traditional systems focus on managing a strike once it has occurred. The CMCE device prevents lightning formation over the protected area, eliminating the risk of damage, injuries, and costly repairs.
Protection for All Application Sizes: Whether you are looking to protect a small home, a large industrial complex, or a yacht, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor offers six model sizes to choose from. Its effectiveness extends to applications of all sizes, from residential homes to large-scale commercial or industrial sites, and even boats or marinas.
Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance: The CMCE device is also highly cost-effective. Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance compared to conventional lightning rod systems, making it a practical long-term, reliable investment for any asset.

Lightning strikes are unpredictable and dangerous, but they don’t have to be inevitable. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor offers the most effective solution available today by preventing lightning formation altogether. Through its deionization process, this system provides unmatched protection for a wide range of applications. Instead of attracting lightning, stop it in its tracks, ensuring the safety and protection of your property.

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.
