Hi,
I'm using the data stored at Data/Protected but I'm struggling to understand whether the Region subsetting is mutually exclusive.
Suppose I want to gather ALL pulses detected over Europe in a certain day.
As far as I understand this means I have to gather the data from AT LEAST folders Strikes_1 and Strikes_18. Strikes_19 appears to be just a mirror of Strikes_18.

However, there are some lighthings over Europe that are coming from the other regions, for example Strikes_3.

Does that mean that the pulses detected in that region (which in theory does not include Europe) also need to be considered?
Basically I just want to make sure that lighthings saved in every region do not contain duplicate in other regions, which would mean that the only 100% safe way of extracting data from the archive is to consider all regions every time.
