Does anyone have any experience with this item? ( Cannon Thunder Strobe )

I've looked at this product on a few different sites and the information I'm finding is limited. I'm mainly wondering how the thunder - strobe effect works. I understand that the thunder isn't really loud, so it would be perfect for background effects. Does the thunder - strobe effect occur at random intervals? Is it on some sort of set timer? Does it require near-constant remote control?

Any information would be appreciated!

I found this question on Instructables:
----------------------
I have a Cannon Thunder Strobe w/sound effects. I would like to make it act more like a real thunder/lightening storm. The flash from the strobe and then the roll of thunder. Right now, out of the box, it just flashes normally and the effect plays. It does not look like a real lightening flash with thunder. It needs to have a major pause between lightening flashes so the thunder can roll, then silence and darkness. I have seen it done in Halloween Spirit stores, but the employees did not know how it was done. It was fixed up by someone else.

-------------------
I don't know if you would be really happy with it. Don't have any personal experience with it.

Unless there is a delay to dial that strobe canon to delay the thunder sound from the flash of the strobe, the only real way is to use a light organ that the strobe is plugged to & a separate cd that plays a delayed track.
Most likely what someone that knew what they were doing at that Spirit store did something like that.....
