Our market leading lightning detection systems safeguard live and infrastructure across the UK. On average, 1.4 billion+ lightning events are detected across the globe each tear. Our solutions provide accurate warnings to ensure worker safety and operational efficiency during adverse weather conditions. Skyview Systems offer a comprehensive approach to safeguard your operations.
Hundreds of billions of pounds of damage is caused by thunderstorms each year. while the intensity of a lightning strike can make the appear as a think bolt across the sky, the actual width is actually on average only 2-3cm. The length on the other hand is usually 2-3 miles. This is a primary reason lightning safety should be paramount across all associated industries during the lightning seasons. Investing in a reliable lightning detector device not only enhances operational safety but also supports compliance with industry safety standards. Our lightning meter detectors are designed to deliver precise and timely data, ensuring that your operations are both safe and efficient, even under severe weather conditions.
Lightning detection systems are essential tools for accurately monitoring and tracking lightning activity, playing a crucial role across numerous sectors in the UK. From meteorology and renewable energy to aviation and public safety, these systems ensure safety, optimise operations, and provide vital data for informed decision-making. Whether you're forecasting storms, planning critical work, or enhancing safety protocols, lightning detection systems deliver precise information that drives efficiency and innovation. Discover how our cutting-edge lightning detection solutions can enhance your operations and provide the reliable lightning data you need across diverse applications in the UK.

The BTD-200 Lightning Warning System is a complete, out-of-the-box, self-contained sensor that reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning to a range of 35km. The BTD-200 uses quasi-electrostatic measurements to avoid the problems associated with the detection of lightning using radio waves and to provide the ability to issue warnings prior to the first discharge of lightning.
The advanced detection principle of the BTD-200 enables it to monitor the strength of the local electric field and the presence of charged precipitation, both of which are strong indicators of lightning risk. This allows the BTD-200 to provide warnings of the risk of an overhead strike even before any lightning has been produced. This advance warning can be up to 20 minutes before the lightning begins, giving more than enough time to alert staff, members, teams and the public to the risks of remaining out of doors.
A lightning meter detector is a device designed to measure and detect the presence of lightning activity in the surrounding area. It provides real-time data on lightning strikes, helping to assess the risk and take necessary precautions.
A lightning alert system detects lightning activity within a certain radius and sends out warnings or alerts. These alerts can be visual, audible, or sent via digital communication platforms, allowing people to take safety measures to avoid potential hazards.
Lightning strike detectors are used to monitor and detect lightning strikes in real time. They are commonly used in areas prone to thunderstorms to ensure the safety of people, equipment, and structures by providing early warning of potential lightning strikes.
A lightning strike detection system is an integrated setup that monitors, detects, and records lightning strikes in a specific area. This system can provide data for analysis and send alerts to mitigate risks associated with lightning.
A lightning detection system is generally highly reliable when properly installed and maintained. These systems use advanced technology to accurately detect and track lightning strikes, providing timely alerts and reducing the risk of lightning-related incidents.
When choosing a lightning detector device, consider features such as detection range, accuracy, portability, alert types (visual/audible), and connectivity options. Some devices may also offer integration with weather stations or mobile apps for enhanced functionality.
A commercial lightning detector is crucial for businesses that operate in outdoor environments or industries sensitive to lightning, such as construction, aviation, and sports. It helps protect assets, ensure safety, and minimise downtime by providing early warnings of lightning activity.
A commercial lightning sensor is typically more robust and designed for use in larger or more critical environments, offering a wider detection range and enhanced durability. Standard detectors may be more suitable for personal or small-scale use, with a focus on portability and basic functionality.
