TALOS Remote Housing Lightning Detection System w/20' Cable & External Horn - Black Round Indicator & 45' Horn Cable

Remote Housing Lightning Detection System with 20' Cable & External Horn - Black Round Indicator & 45' Horn Cable

55% of lightning injuries & fatalities occur to outdoor workers.

Engineered for customized OEM applications, the SFD-1000-R utilizes a proprietary, patent-pending, compact design to detect and alert lightning strikes up to 25 miles away - increasing situational awareness and elevating safety levels. 

Lightning can strike from 25 miles away, but thunder can only be heard from 10 miles away. This means lightning can strike even when the sky is blue and it appears no storm is in sight. Each year in the U.S., there are approximately 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning flashes, and about 300 people are struck by lightning causing death or permanent disability.
