Da-2000 flight crew reported being struck by lightning in their destination terminal area. They note...

Narrative:

We were in the terminal area deviating around some small isolated thunderstorms. We were descending down to 11;000 ft. When passing through 13;000 ft; we were struck by lightning. We saw a flash of light. I saw sparks fly out of the overhead circuit breaker panel. I saw a bolt come down from the right side of the panel and connect with my co-pilot's headset. We immediately noticed 2 cbs pop; and smelled a burnt odor. We also noticed burn marks on various parts of the overhead circuit breaker panel. After we were struck; there was no sign of smoke or fire. Everything seemed to operate normally except for the burnt smell and an indication showing that the wing anti-ice was on. One of the two breakers popped was the wing anti-ice breaker. My co-pilot [notified ATC] and we got immediate vectors for the ILS. I briefed the flight attendant on our [urgent] situation and she briefed the passengers. The remainder of the flight was uneventful. With what I saw on my radar screen; I didn't think there was a concern with where we were choosing to deviate around the weather and I didn't think we could have done anything more to avoid the lightning strike or the weather.
