Martin, I ordered an AEO Lightning Trigger two weeks ago from the States so should be here with in the next few days, when it arrives I will mail you what the quality is like or even better if we are fortunate to see a few storms soon I can document a review of its performance.
That's very interesting Anton - just googled it... I may look into making one of these - with a 'lightning detecting circuit' and a remote control it should be quite easy to marry the 2 circuits together... Will report back on this...
