Depending on what type of camera, light meters are in-camera or hand held. For creative and professional photographers, light meters are important tools.

Light meters gauge luminosity by either reflective light or by incident light methods. more »

Flash light meters are meant to find the optimum exposure, so your pictures look as clear and vivid as they possibly can. more »
A light meter is used to determine the amount of light and proper exposure levels for photography. Cameras in the digital age are equipped with onboard light meters which may prove more confusing to the novice photographer.

A light meter is a device used to measure the level of visible light in a particular area. Light meters are used by growers to ensure that their plants receive the optimal level of light. They are also used by lighting designers to give a room enough light without wasting energy on excessive lighting. One of the most well-known uses of light meters is in photography. At a given shutter speed, a picture needs to receive just enough light to come out well. A light meter allows a photographer to adjust the shutter speed and other photographic settings so that the picture will come out right. more »
