Remote Housing Lightning Detection System with 20' Cable - White Round Indicator with Translucent Housing
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.
The TALOS Remote Lightning Detector alerts you to approaching or departing storm fronts and lightning by sensing the distance of the lightning strikes that are occurring in the area. Audible and visual alerts make you aware of potentially life-threatening situations.
Why TALOS when your phone already provides weather alerts?
Phones are not always in hand when lightning is imminent
Weather app alerts can be delayed due to tower/doppler location
Weather apps alert at specific intervals - TALOS alerts in real-time
The environment is too noisy to hear cell phone alerts
Cell towers may be out of range
Features:
Self-contained, stand-alone device
Up to 25 mile range
Compact design
The same technology used in expensive weather stations
3 different colors indicate the distance (approaching or departing) of the storm front:
Green: 25 miles
Blue: 16 miles
Red: 6 miles
3 audible beeps each time lightning is detected
If lightning strikes multiple times in 1 second, all 3 colors will rotate indicating maximum danger
Flashes yellow once a minute when in active listening mode
Easy to mount for a clean, finished look
Low cost
High accuracy
IP67 waterproof
OEM tested and approved
Low power consumption
Reverse polarity protection
Technical Specifications:
Operating Temperatures - -20 to 80°C (-4 to 176°F)
Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!

Great design but fail fast in the caribbean sun...
We bought these boots in 2022, and are buying new ones 3 years later. We love the design and the fact that they are easy to remove for inspection of the rig.
