Skyscan® Lightning Detector

Thunderstorm Warning From Up to 40 Miles Away

Knowing the average lightning strike is 6 miles long and that thunder can generally be heard over a distance of 3–4 miles, it isn’t very difficult to understand why many lightning deaths and injuries occur with clear skies overhead. The compact SkyScan detector uses a fully digital microprocessor enclosed in a weather-resistant ABS Case to scan for the electronic traces of a lightning storm. By using separate audible and visual alerts, the SkyScan detector is able to give you the approximate distance of an existing storm in miles (0–3, 3–8, 8–20, 20–40). By recognizing the progression of the storm distances, you can tell if the storm is approaching directly or just passing by.
