Distributive lattices with strong endomorphism kernel property as direct sums

Unbounded distributive lattices which have strong endomorphism kernel property (SEKP) introduced by Blyth and Silva in [3] were fully characterized in [11] using Priestley duality (see Theorem  2.8}). We shall determine the structure of special elements (which are introduced after  Theorem 2.8 under the name strong elements) and show that these lattices can be considered as a direct product of three lattices, a lattice with exactly one strong element, a lattice which is a direct sum of 2 element lattices with distinguished elements 1 and a lattice which is a direct sum of 2 element lattices with distinguished elements 0, and the sublattice of strong elements is isomorphic to a product of last two mentioned lattices.
