I am not sure, but I think that 'special' weight class armor, although it adds to total weight carried and can thereby affect encumbrance/initiative/lightning strike etc., it doesn't directly affect lightning strike the way the other weight classes (other than minimal) can.
So, a 'special' weight class armor may not reduce the chance of a lightning strike as much as a light, medium, or heavy weight class armor of the same weight (but its weight still contributes to total weight/encumbrance, so that may lower your chances some).
