Ambient WeatherWH31-SRS Solar Radiation Shield w/Bracket for WH31E, WH31P and WH31L Sensors

Really helps to let you know how close lightning is

This is a part of my new WS-5000 weather station meant for protecting the lightning gauge. I am 100% happy with my WS-5000 and all its components.It is an excellent purchase, and I Highly recommend

Works really great with the lightning sensor. Gives a more accurate temp & humidity reading with the other sensor.Comes with mounting hardware.

I used this for my greenhouse, as I wanted to know the temps in there without actually being in there. If it got too cold, I'd turn on a bulb. I liked that I could just look on my phone and see what the temp was on cold nights. I have only used it one season in the greenhouse but then stuck it in the garage and knew how warm it was in there too. Sometimes I would leave the garage door open until it cooled off too. It was nice to know the temps without walking outside to look at a guage. I think the temps were accurate, or at least as accurate as the thermometer I have in both areas.

Our Observatory is on a mountain and subject to gale force winds and hot summer sun. This keeps the sensor on the building and shaded

Works OK for the Ambient lightning sensor. Could be very simple to install or not, it depends on your situation.The housing needs a wider array of fastening options, only fits a very small pole. You can face mount it to the side of your home, on a fence post or a separate structure. Just keep it away from an automatic standby generator if you have one.To mount the housing to main weather station pole, I made a backer plate from an old polyethylene cutting board and bought two 1 1/4 stainless U-bolts (see photos).I had to move the lighting sensor away from my Generac automatic standby generator - it was causing false positive lightning strikes - see the photo of the weather station monitor with 110 lighting strikes. It was a crystal clear day when that showed up - it was my generator exercising that caused the false count.Overall, this housing works well, it’s easy to access the detector inside and it’s weather proof (the sensor is NOT weather proof!) .The issue can be mounting, hence the 4 star rating. I came up with a solution but I can fix most anything. You might not have the same skill set - good luck. Hope that helps!

This Sheild protects Ambient Weather Station Sensors Outdoors. My Lightening Sensor fit perfectly inside, and this Shield attaches easily on the same pole that the Ambient Weather Station Sensor Cluster is attached to. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I bought this to install my lighting detector below the Osprey sensor. Works well and looks great!
