We were finally lucky enough to use the PGLM lightning tool today. I found it visually pleasing and useful. I like that fact that once you figure out the scale, it immediately conveys the severity of the lightning. For example.
I learned that anything over dark blue (in the default frame) is OVER 30 flashes.
That's all I need to know. I can tell by looking at this storm that there is a LOT of lightning. If I want to get the exact amount I can scroll over, but I don't need to. It's like a visual threshold for me. I prefer the non-pixelated version, and as far as color tables...I prefer the default. I initially chose the top right corner because it was more intuitive with red bring stronger, but the blues in the default give a very clear demarcation of major vs. minor lightning.
