    I have seen this before & it's very cool.. They are using a Profilux controller. It is a VERY EXPENSIVE controller!! They start at $900.00 for a very basic setup up to $2300.00 for more advance models.. Not counting the needed hardware of course..

    The vertex lumina, will do thunderstorms, sunsets, sunrises, and other weather.
    I always thought the whole thunderstorm thing was too gimmicy for me although having a cloud pass occasionally(so going down to actinics) may be cool.
