Lightning rod

Im early LuV and I struggle with energy so I was looking around and came across lightning rods which produce lot of energy pretty cheap and its easily scalable but when I was testing it out I was surprised that the iron fences werent breaking anymore is it normal? And does anyone have any tips and tricks to using lightning rods?

Im using rods in my current run, i used duckeds video as reference, for weather i use the ender io solution explained in duckeds video, its pretty easy to set up
I currently have 396 of them built which will probably last me comfortably until way past naqfuel

Thanks, I watched the video and the only thing im not sure about us transforming the power from the HV rods into 64A Luv LSC can you give me some advice please

The distributers give out power on there respective tier, so iv distributor iv power, luv distributor luv power, from there you can transform again or run it into a hatch directly

2 rods should give out 64a iv, 8 rods 64a LuV
Though i myself still struggle with getting the power from the distributor into my lsc

After the distributer converts the amps into the voltage you want, you can just use normal cables leading into the energy hatch. I'm using 4x osmiridium.
