• CLLI is the most copied lightning protection device!
• Before satellite-TV was launched, SIRIM pointed European
engineers to CAL-LAB to design, manufacture and supply 4-in-1
Surge Protection Device or SPD to protect their decoders!

CAL-LAB spent TIME on R&D, created 2-in-1 CLLI for FAX, cordless-

Lightning Is Awesome, But It Can Be Safe!
“A concrete cement block cracked & exploded just as lightning crackled nearby. The
sound was deafening and the flash was blinding! Such was the awesome power of
lightning!” (A lightning-survivor’s account) If you do not believe in such an awesome
power of lightning, we hope you do not have to come face-to-face with it.
What can we do to avoid death or damages from
lightning?
• For more than a hundred years, Lightning-rods have been used to divert
lightning discharges to Ground, with huge copper-rods BUT often being
misunderstood as if Lightning-rods could protect electronic equipment.
• For more than 10-years now, a patented ISOLATION-technique must have
saved millions worth of equipment which would have otherwise been
damaged by lightning. Might even have saved some lives!
• Insurance cannot protect equipment nor help to save human life. Yet, we
believe many buyers would not buy an ordinary SPD, if not because it comes
with INSURANCE. We should not mix Insurance with SPD.
• The only solution is by having an effective protection device (like CLLI) for
each setup.
Is it possible to really prevent damages or death when such an
awesome power of lightning strikes?
• The answer is: YES!
• Correctly creating a SAFE-island for each setup with CLLI is HOW!
To understand how something can be done to avoid death or
destruction from the awesome power of lightning, we need to
look at the following
Unbelievable-but-true phenomena:
1. Lightning begins to discharge with forces in millions of Volts! Even air is
turned into conductors, forming streamers & leaders!
2. Once induced with such high voltages, an insulated cable of 1-meter long can
pick up thousands of volts of electricity, sometimes causing it to melt;
3. Another wire or cable side-by-side can also pick up thousands of volts, even
when insulated (like transformers inducing voltages from one insulated coil to
another)
4. Mixing or putting side-by-side or bundling cables together (coiled-up or not)
is like having a transformer waiting to happen when there is a lightning
discharge nearby or picked-up from miles away by the power-line or
telephone-line or TV-antenna or Satellite-dish or via poorly done grounding.

Here are the ways how CAL-LAB deals with ‘The Millions of Volts
of lightning discharge” – Realistically, thousands of volts would
reach your premises and your equipment setups!
• CLLI does not attempt to arrest the millions of volts (unlike
other Lightning-arrestors or Surge Protection Devices that attempt to, but fail).
CLLI measures and quickly (with lightning-speed) isolates most of the
discharges and divert the preset amount to GROUND, with a patented
ISOLATION-technique. That’s why CLLI = CAL-LAB Lightning Isolators.
• Air and moisture, even insulators can turn into conductors
– that’s why a CLLI is employed at each setup to create a SAFE-island
separating the un-safe wires and cables from safe ones.
• To avoid TRANSFORMER-effect, we ask users of CLLI not to mix
PROTECTED-cable with UNPROTECTED-cables. This is to avoid PROTECTED-
cables in a safe-island from picking up thousands of induced voltages, simply
because they are too near to UNPROTECTED-cables. When any COMM-cable,
LAN-cable or USB-cable picks up more than 10-volts (let alone thousands of
volts), it is enough to destroy sensitive components in the network card or
circuit boards or mother-board (which normally operates at 5V or 3V).
After having sold nearly 1,000,000 units of CLLI since 1995, and where
installations could be CERTIFIED to have been correctly done, we have no
record of any severe damages to protected equipment.
When your equipment setup is correctly protected with CLLI, by correctly
creating a SAFE-island for each setup, you can expect the equipment user too
will be quite safe from lightning!
Such are the features in every CLLI that distinguish CLLI as being different
from ordinary Surge-protectors or Lightning Arrestors.
“If CLLI is so effective, why isn’t it incorporated into
every piece of equipment?”
The answer is simple:
• Something must give way when faced with such awesome
power of lightning! Without effective protection, your equipment
will give in.
• CLLI is designed to give-in long before your equipment will
become damaged. So, if CLLI were to be built-into each piece of
equipment, it would appear as if the equipment was damaged when
actually the CLLI had given way to safeguard your equipment.
• It would make perfect sense to keep CLLI as an external
add-on device so that it could be easily removed and replaced. That
also explains why CAL-LAB offers Lifetime Replacement-Exchange, at
a small fraction of the original cost (under LLSWA)!
