Product Differences
Boltek designs and manufactures several varieties of lightning detector, each having a specific use case, features, and strengths.
Short Range Lightning Detection
Boltek Short Range Lightning Detectors operate within 24 miles or 32 kilometers. Producing highly accurate lightning detection data, alongside local electric field readings. By constantly sampling the atmospheric electric field, our Short Range Detectors can achieve sub-mile range accuracy within milliseconds of a strike occurring.
