StrikeAlert Personal Lightning Detector: Not The Greased Kind
Posted by Seamus Byrne at 9:00 AM on April 29, 2007
At first we thought this was a lighting detector (for photographers), but upon closer inspection we realized it was a lightning detector. You know, the type that tells you if there's lightning. The thing has a convenient belt clip and tells you whether lightning's 20-40 miles away, 12-24 miles away, 6-12 miles away, or less than 6 miles way.
We're not sure how well this works, but it's probably more useful than relying on your own eyesight to tell you whether Storm's coming. Yes, we're talking about the X-Men character. She's very angry.

This product works as advertised, BUT... it's unreliable and short-lived. This is because the power/function switch is very weak, and over a relatively short time, it will not function anymore. I've had two of them, and both had the same problem. The switch is weak! Can't recommend it unless you want to keep sending it in for replacements or credit.
