How Does the CMCE Lightning Suppressor Stand Apart from Other Systems?

3 different CMCE models in front of a lightning strike storm

When it comes to safeguarding properties, infrastructure, and boats from the devastating effects of lightning, it’s crucial to choose a system that offers not just protection but prevention. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is a revolutionary solution that stands apart from conventional lightning protection systems, making it an unmatched choice in the industry.

A Game-Changing Approach: Prevent Lightning Formation

One of the ways the CMCE Lightning Suppressor distinguishes itself from traditional lightning protection systems is through its unique ability to prevent lightning formation. Unlike conventional systems that aim to safely divert lightning after it strikes, the CMCE system deionizes the atmosphere, neutralizing the electrostatic charge that leads to lightning formation. Rather than managing the damage post-strike, the CMCE stops lightning before it ever occurs. The CMCE doesn’t just protect against lightning—it prevents it.

Proven Effectiveness: Lab and Field Tested

The effectiveness of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor isn’t just theoretical. It has been rigorously tested both in laboratory environments and in the field, proving its ability to perform under real-world conditions. These tests have confirmed the CMCE’s remarkable capacity to prevent lightning formation, making it a reliable solution for protecting various applications, including commercial developments, residential homes, and boats of all sizes.

Durability and Reliability: Built to Last

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is designed to be highly durable, withstanding even the harshest environmental conditions. It is hurricane-resistant, able to endure strong winds and turbulent weather, ensuring continuous protection in the most challenging climates. Additionally, the CMCE is corrosion-proof, making it ideal for installations in coastal areas, industrial settings, or any environment prone to moisture and corrosive elements.

Why Choose the CMCE?

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor stands apart in the world of lightning protection by offering a proactive solution that prevents strikes altogether through deionization. With its proven effectiveness, durability, and reliability it outperforms traditional lightning protection systems that focus only on mitigating the damage after a strike. For businesses and properties seeking a cutting-edge, long-lasting solution to lightning threats, the CMCE is a top-tier choice that delivers both peace of mind and unmatched protection.

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.
