Lightning protection systems (lightning rods) simply divert lightning safely to ground. LPS protect the structure. As stated by others you still need to consider surge protection on the meter or electric panel and down stream point-of-use surge protectors for electonics. See the Lightning Matters columns in the back issues of the POA Bulletins.
