Didn't Work Very Well			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I must have had a direct strike because the lightning blew the cover off my LAC4 and left the inside of the arrestor black. Didn't protect equipment. Originally installed in 1994.

held up since 2001			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have owned and installed many of these since 2001 and have never had any problems with them. I live in an elevated area and have had many strikes close to my house and have never lost any Ham radio equipment connected to the coax that these protect! NOTE: you need to follow manufacturers installation instructions to the tee! I have gone through great lengths at my QTH to assure proper grounding. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT OR THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT. I can't stress enough the importance of following the manufacturers recommendations for this product.
