For more than 40 years, Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, Inc. (LEC), Boulder Colo., has been involved in developing lightning protection systems. Over the last twenty five years the focus of our company has been on researching the science of strike collection. The patented Ion Plasma Generator is a highly effective air terminal engineered for applications where lightning prevention is not practical, but that still require reliable lightning protection from direct strikes.
