Advanced Lightning Sensor LS7002

A lightning detection sensor that enables a network with superior efficiency, optimal location accuracy, and system redundancy — all from a fewer number of sensors.

Comprehensive, real-time view

Vaisala LS7002 lightning detection sensors deliver a comprehensive, real-time view of lightning activity by detecting both cloud lightning pulses and cloud-to-ground lightning strokes.

The LS7002 is perfect for meteorological modeling, hazardous weather forecasting, early warning systems, and emergency management due to superior detection efficiency, optimal location accuracy, and system redundancy. Plus, powerful sensing capabilities mean sensors can be positioned up to 350 km (217 mi) apart.

You get the most comprehensive lightning detection network data for the most accurate and reliable real-time weather monitoring solution — all from a fewer number of sensors.
