Manufacturer Contact Information Not Applicable Review: Skycan Lightning Detector in action - Compared to other lightning detectors, most of the time it detects more than the other detectors. I encountered some issues with it but solved it like battery placing i need to be very careful to pick the correct poles of positive and negatives alignment and making sure the connection metal to be placed on the right direction to work. Also making sure for not to let it be close to other high voltage electronics like washing machines - TVs - Spot lights - phones and wireless devices, for not to let it trigger False alerts.
