Hello,

What EDEX are you connecting to and which lighting products are you referring 
to?

The Unidata public EDEX has never had Vaisala/GLD360 or Earth Networks 
lightning data available to the public because it is proprietary.  If you are a 
University or school running your own EDEX and receiving Unidata's IDD/LDM feed 
you can access the data.

Unidata's public EDEX does have  the new GOES Satellites have Geostationary 
Lightning Mapper Array gridded products available to everyone.

Thanks,

Tiffany Meyer
