I really don't understand, quite, how to protect myself from lightning

someone, but I'm clearly missing something.
I'll have wires to coax switches and, of course, the rotor.
I plan on doing all the grounding of the coax and even putting in one of
those special gadgets that "blow out" a ball of whatever-that-substance-is
for the non-ground signal on the coax. I plan on putting in the grounding
systems talked about in "Up the Tower" and generally around here.
But, despite having "Up the Tower" I don't get how to really secure control
lines (e.g. to the rotor) as far as lightning goes.
Is there some gadget that does the job?
Have I overlooked something?
Do I just rely on the regular low impedance grounding system to take up
most of the energy and hope not much flows on these wires?
