When it comes to protecting structures and boats from the threat of lightning, durability, reliability, and low maintenance are essential factors to consider. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor stands out as a proactive solution, offering effective protection against lightning strikes while minimizing the need for frequent upkeep. This advanced system is built to withstand harsh conditions, resist corrosion, and provide long-term reliability for all types of applications. 


Unmatched Durability with Premium Materials


One of the most critical factors in the design of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is its construction using high-quality materials. It is made with 6061 aluminum, a higher-grade alloy known for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This choice of material ensures that the suppressor remains structurally sound even in the most challenging weather conditions, including exposure to saltwater environments and high humidity. 


Hurricane-Resistant Design


Lightning protection systems must be able to endure extreme weather conditions, especially in regions prone to hurricanes. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is specifically designed to be hurricane-resistant, allowing it to maintain its integrity and functionality even during the most severe storms. Its robust construction ensures that the suppressor stays firmly in place, continuously protecting your property from potential lightning strikes, no matter how turbulent the weather becomes. 


Corrosion-Proof for Long-Term Performance


Corrosion can be a significant issue for outdoor equipment, particularly in areas exposed to salty air or industrial pollutants. With the use of 6061 aluminum and methacrylate, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is built to be corrosion-proof, reducing the risk of damage over time and ensuring reliable performance for many years. This corrosion resistance helps lower the overall maintenance costs, making it a more cost-effective choice for long-term lightning protection. 


Low-Maintenance with Annual Check-Up

 

One of the standout features of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is its low-maintenance design. Unlike traditional lightning rod systems that may require frequent inspections and repairs, the CMCE only requires an annual check-up. During this check-up, a thorough inspection of the unit is performed to ensure there is no physical damage that can affect its performance. The grounding system is also assessed to confirm it is effectively moving electrical charges from the atmosphere to the ground. By keeping the grounding system in optimal condition, the suppressor can continue to provide consistent and reliable protection year after year. 


Reliable Performance You Can Count On

 

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is more than just a standard lightning protection device—it’s a cutting-edge solution engineered for reliability. Its ability to prevent lightning formation over a protected area ensures that your property remains safe from potential strikes, reducing the risk of damage to your infrastructure and equipment. This level of performance gives home and boat owners peace of mind, knowing that their assets are well-protected, even during the most unpredictable weather events.
