<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dean Anderson, post: 399864, member: 8327&quot;]I believe the &quot;balls&quot; on the lightening rods were&nbsp; for decoration only as the one piece rod goes through them, the rods aren&#039;t 2 pieces. so there&#039;s no way they could act as an insulator (40 years as a union electrician has taught me at least that much!). Maybe they were an indicator, because I&#039;m sure if lightning hit the rod, the globe would burst and be gone. I&#039;ve actually demoed some old lightning rods, as well as installed the newer high tech lightening systems, and they all have a cable going down and attaching to a ground rod, in the ground.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
