Detailed Solution

The danger of lightning to tall buildings can be reduced by providing lighting conductors.
 Lighting conductors:
A metal rod that is placed at the top of a building in order to protect it from a lightning strike is known as a lightning conductor.
Lighting conductors carry a high charge and at the time of lighting they transfer the charge to the earth through high conducting wires. Therefore the danger of lighting to tall buildings can be reduced by installing lighting conductors in it.
