Thanks for sharing, this is a fantastic blog post.Really thank you! Awesome.
I saw this project at the expo and it captivated me! Looked exactly like a real thundercloud. The way the lights were oriented created a nice depth to the cloud. Are you going to add sounds to the cloud? I think it would add a nice calming effect to hear the thunderstorm while the lamp is on.
