Interesting problem. Love to know if others can replicate or otherwise let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Setup = two Einsteins both plugged into the Lithium Mini. One has the PW MC2 trigger attached. Camera has PW mini-tt1 attached. Basic studio setup on camera. Basic mid-power settings on lights. Modeling lights turned off (or I think so anyway) on both units. So I pop a shot and every time the modeling light comes back on on the unit that has the PW MC2 attached. The other one does not. This is maddening of course as I have to manually turn it off every shot. Any ideas? Can you replicate? Am I doing something wrong?

That's the default behavior, seems to have surprised several folks.

Open the transmitter with the PW utility, there's an advanced page where you can set modeling light control to "Off". Then you can set the model light on the E640, and the TT's shouldn't change it.

If you haven't all ready used the PW utility software to set your mini go to the Modeling tab and uncheck the box model light control then when you turn of the modeling light on the E640 it will stay off

hope that helps
