Lightning strikes are not hypothetical risks, they are powerful, unpredictable events capable of shutting down operations, endangering personnel, and causing millions in damage in a single flash.

At Lightning Eliminators & Consultants (LEC), we’ve built our reputation on a simple truth: effective lightning protection demands real-world experience, not just theory. That’s why leading organizations operating critical and sensitive facilities around the world trust LEC to keep them running when storms roll in.

Lightning Protection Backed by Proven Experience

What truly sets LEC apart is the depth of expertise behind every system we design and deploy. Our team brings together more than 150 years of combined experience in consulting, engineering, designing, installing, and maintaining lightning defense systems. This isn’t experience gained in a lab alone – its expertise built in the field from thousands of installations and decades of solving lightning protection challenges. We’ve just about seen it all.

Our leadership and technical staff represent some of the most seasoned professionals in the lightning protection industry:

• Peter Carpenter – 40+ years of hands-on expertise guiding lightning mitigation strategies
• Brian Daugherty – 30+ years specializing in system design and client consulting
• Joe Lanzoni – 30+ years delivering proven solutions for complex facilities
• Luke Pettross – 20 years supporting system implementation and long-term performance
• Sean Carpenter – 20 years focused on operational reliability and customer success
• Kirk Chynoweth – 21 years (Engineering) ensuring every system is grounded in sound engineering principles

That experience translates directly into results. LEC’s DAS technology delivers a documented 99.87% effectiveness rate, backed by our industry-leading no-strike warranty. For facilities that cannot afford downtime, such as energy infrastructure, industrial operations, security installations, and mission-critical sites, this level of reliability is essential.

Additionally, we have more than 18,000 RGA®’s (Retractable Grounding Assembly®) protecting floating roof storage tanks worldwide. Engineered for durability and reliability, the RGA ensures a permanent, low-impedance bond that prevents fires triggered by lightning currents.

A Lifecycle Approach for Reliability You Can Depend On

But LEC’s expertise doesn’t end once a system is installed. Our team provides comprehensive services, including site assessments, tailored system designs, professional turnkey installation, system recertifications, and ongoing maintenance and support. This lifecycle approach ensures that protection remains effective year after year, even as facilities expand or operational demands change.

In an industry where experience can mean the difference between resilience and failure, LEC’s proven track record speaks for itself. With LEC, you have more than products, you get a partner with the knowledge, judgment, and experience to protect what matters most. With Lightning Eliminators & Consultants, that expertise is built into every solution we deliver.
