does it have a built-in light meter with a manual override option?

I have one and the light meter worked for about a month after i got it. The light mustve died or something im not sure but i know its not the batteries.

Not that I know of. It has four power settings and puts out a good deal of light for its size.

No, but its intensity does change depending on the amount of light that it is hitting the sensor.

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

yes. there is a switch on the unit. i'm curious, tho, why would you want to limit the light?

No, But It Is Controllable By DMXYou Can't Beat This Light!!! For The Price And Large Coverage Area And It Will Never Burn Out For Years, I Have 4 Now!!!

Yes it does. And controls for plus or minus flash compensation, leading/trailing curtain synch, and a few other options for it.

There is a setting on it for the lights and patterns. The answer is in your manual.

Yes it does. The strength of the light can be controlled by rotating the off switch past the on setting to various increasing degrees of intensity.

again, it only has a connector or a Pocket Wizard flash controller for metering only - it will not fire the flashes when the camera shutter actuates. I don't know of any light meter which would do this since there are so many other less expensive ways to do this.

No. I had to return mine bc it didn't have that feature. It also would not allow for multiple light levels.

No, unfortunately it doesn't have that feature. And I have to say ours never worked right. We couldn't ever get it to go completely off so we had to take a battery out to makes the lights stop flashing. Could be a fun toy if it worked right.

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

The light meter only works when the shutter speed is on 'A' automaticwhen its on automatic you just put your finger over the button in the middle of the shutter speed

Not by default, the plug has no where to enter the light beam sensor. You may be able to set up a custom relay, but im not going to figure that out for you.

No, it's on ramp up and ramp down for this model by current. You want to look in to the Dual Ramp Pro by Current. That one is programmable with certain lights.
