Caretaker: Thanks for the reply, and I've actually already been considering doing it that way, and may end up trying it for this Halloween to see how it works out. It has a few drawbacks that I haven't figured (a cheap) workaround for, though:
- it would have to be coded in as part of my song sequences, which would mean it would not be random (the lightning would always strike at the same points during the song). Though this isn't a showstopper
, I'd much prefer it to be un-synchronized with the songs.
- it would run off the same audio as the sequence, but I want to run the Thunder to a different, subwoofer enhanced audio system.
therealbigjim: Thanks for the link. That helps me see what I could accomplish through programming. I wouldn't pay $79 for a sequence, but watching the video was definitely helpful.

A "firefly like" lightning simulator has been next on my must-have list for my halloween display. I used the Lynx Express for the 1st time last year for a singing pumpkin display that got great reviews from the neighbors. Now I need to step it up a notch by adding another effect.
I was hoping a good DIY lightning simulator would turn up, because at $249 the 2-channel firefly is just a bit too pricey for me. What I'd REALLY like is a 3-channel version (which they don't even make). 2 channels for stereo lightning (ie lightning "strikes" coming from 2 different directions), plus the 3rd channel for the reverse lightning effect (dimming the house lights after the strike occurs).
It appears to me a controller like this would not be nearly as complicated as some of the great stuff already developed here, but it's way beyond my own capabilities to come up with. Could RJ be tempted to apply his talents to such a project ?
