Pekan is located at east of peninsular Malaysia which experience very high cloud to ground (CG) lightning density. The lightning strike hazards can be properly managed by using a lightning location system (LLS). In this paper, a system to monitor the lightning strikes and thunderstorm has been installed and setup. Pekan Lightning Detection System (PLDS) has a combination of Magnetics Direction Finder and Time-of - Arrival sensor. The PLDS provides both real-time and historical lightning data. The real-time data include the time of lightning strokes, their location and an estimate of the peak current.
