Observed behavior:
Holding a blueprint that includes a Lightning Rod/Lightning Collector does not show the overage of the lightning protected area. Using a picker-ghost works, but specifically not blueprints.
Expected behavior:
Coverage area would be shown the same as when placing a ghost from the picker tool. This functionality already works with both turrets and roboports.

Re: Lightning Rod blueprints do not show coverage range
+1 to this. I want to place lightning rod with big electric pole, but since this is an issue, I first have to build the lightning rods and only then the big electric poles.

Not really a bug, but i am taking it so it is not forgotten 

Re: [Lou]Lightning Rod blueprints do not show coverage range
I debated putting it in Bugs or Suggestions, but bug seemed more likely given the inconsistency in behavior.
