Using NASA-developed Thunder technology, the Lightning Switch is designed to self-power a radio frequency transmitter that sends an ID-encoded signal to a Lightning receiver and provides portable, remote control of electrical loads at distances of up to 100 feet, or at unlimited range with optional repeaters.

Lightning components are used in the PulseStar Lighting System, which is designed to be a highly efficient and flexible lighting system that uses a much smaller percentage of the electricity used by older technologies.
