Seems pretty accurate. - Easy to setup with my existing weather station. Seems to detect and display lightning strikes and distance with accuracy when compared to weather stations and news in my region. Review: Seems to do a great job - I purchased this to add to my WS-5000 weather station. It seems amazingly sensitive and from what I can tell, pretty accurate. It will start registering lightning strikes before I can hear the thunder and when I check the radar I see the storm on the radar approximately where its reporting. I do notice that its less sensitive when storms are to the northwest of us but assume that's because we live on the side of a mountain and there's a mountain range between us and the storms. My only complaint (and this may be with the WS-5000 console and not the detector) is that I cannot see individual strikes when they are happening so fast. I can watch the console and see the counts click up, but can only see the last strike. So I can never really see how close the strikes are unless I just happen to be at the console when the closest strike occurs. ## Features - Includes 1 lightning detector - Detects lightning within a 25 mile range(40 km) of your location - RF 915 MHz sensor range up to 330 feet (100 feet in most conditions) with 79 second refresh rate - Sensor measures 4.75 x 1.5 x 0.6 in - Sensor powered by 2 x AA batteries (included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08TGF71B3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,685 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #278 in Thermometers & Weather Instruments | | Brand | Ambient Weather | | Built-In Media | Lightning Detector, Batteries | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | WS-2000, WS-5000, WS-1551-IP, ObserverIP2.0, WeatherHub | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 477 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ambient Weather | | Model Number | WH31L | | Power Source | Solar Powered | | Product Style | modern | | Style | modern | | UPC | 816982018519 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 122 Degrees Fahrenheit | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ambient Weather - **Style:** modern - **Power Source:** Solar Powered - **Color:** White - **Item Weight:** 0.06 Kilograms - **Compatible Devices:** WS-2000, WS-5000, WS-1551-IP, ObserverIP2.0, WeatherHub - **Upper Temperature Rating:** 122 Degrees Fahrenheit - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Manufacturer:** Ambient Weather - **UPC:** 816982018519 ## Images ![WH31L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31r6DsgwWyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like the detector. Seems pretty accurate. *by T***N on January 14, 2026* Easy to setup with my existing weather station. Seems to detect and display lightning strikes and distance with accuracy when compared to weather stations and news in my region. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to do a great job *by S***S on July 6, 2025* I purchased this to add to my WS-5000 weather station. It seems amazingly sensitive and from what I can tell, pretty accurate. It will start registering lightning strikes before I can hear the thunder and when I check the radar I see the storm on the radar approximately where its reporting.

Good option/alternative to the Ecowitt WH57 *by D***E on June 6, 2025* I own the Ecowitt HP2560 base station and WS90 weather station. I tried the Ecowitt WH57 lightning detector and experienced the dreaded false positive strikes that didn't stop regardless of dip-switch settings. I just figured my urban setting just had too much EM interference. However, I learned that this Ambient Weather lightning detector would be recognized by the Ecowitt base station work seamlessly, so I decided why not and purchased it. It's more expensive than the Ecowitt and doesn't come with the radiation shield, but the shield can be purchased separately. After installing this into the radiation shield that came with faulty Ecowitt WH57 I sat patiently waiting for false strikes. They didn't come. About two hours later, a thunderstorm passed about 15 miles north. It registered the strikes from 14 miles away. I'm currently getting a storm and it's registering every strike. No false strikes at all! This thing is a keeper! Maybe it's just a crap-shoot on these units, I don't know. But perhaps the QA on the Ambient Weather version is a little better perhaps. They are made by the same manufacturer as the Ecowitt cousins, but for whatever reason the Ambient Weather version has better ratings and less reports of false strikes. So, if you have an Ecowitt station and are hesitant of the Ecowitt lightning detector due to the ratings, give this one a shot. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ambient Weather WH31L Lightning Detector for Models WS-2000, WS-5000 - Ambient Weather WH31-SRS Solar Radiation Shield w/Bracket for WH31E, WH31P and WH31L Sensors - Ambient Weather WS-2000 Smart Weather Station with WiFi Remote Monitoring and Alerts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/292266535-wh31l](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/292266535-wh31l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
