Has anyone invested in lightening rod protectors? Not sure if that is what they are called....

I know they run about $1800...
There is a post about Lightening protection systems that discuss the costs. It looks like $1800 is a mean. It sounds like you have to be careful as to who you hire to install the lightening protection system.
