You can use the built-in microphone or an external sensor as your trigger source. The external sensor could be as simple as a photo-transistor. You can use a standard off the shelf laser pointer as your light source.
The unit provides many other functions: For example it can act as a flash slave or a programmable camera infra-red remote. Programmable camera remote allows you take multiple repeated exposures for time lapse photography or capture long time exposures.
