I dont think a florescent lamp would light on remote lightning and if 
the lamp did light up 

MOVE FAST

Better still make a cohere ( god the spelling )( hmmf passed spell check
) Somewhere I read that 
was a method to detect lightning. The RF would cause the bell to tap and
notify the commercial 
radio OP to disconnect the antenna or operate the ground switch. In those
days a lot of traffic would 
be automatic and the ops would have many duties . The notification would
alert the remote 
recieve op to shut down in a timely fashion.
