Hi folks,
I'm ready to start purchasing the thunder and lightning components for our haunt. I've read the other threads on this subject and have looked at some of the effect units mentioned. I've decided to try the I-Zombie SC-1201 controller, which costs quite a bit more money and can be viewed here.

Originally I wanted to have the thunder & lightning effects just in our grave yard, but decided to make it over the entire front of the house. I really don't want to spend the extra money for the stereo unit they offer, but does anyone know if this will be a mistake not to get it as opposed to the mono unit that flashes all lights together? Flashing them all together seems very authentic to me, just like a real storm anyway.
I also decided not to go with the six (6) Par-38 light cans due to them not being rated for outdoor use, so I'm going to put together about 6 blue flood lights available at home depot. I think they are either 100w or 150w each. At least with those, I won't have to worry about them when it rains. I wasn't looking forward to having to cover up the Par-38 cans with plastic when it rains. Any thoughts?
