1. A photographic light emitting diode (LED)-based lamp system for illuminating a subject, the photographic LED-based lamp system comprising:
a master LED lamp; and
one or more external LED lamps;
wherein the master LED lamp comprises
an onboard computer comprising an internal memory;
software;
a touch screen interface; and
a wireless transmitter;
wherein the master LED lamp interacts with and controls the one or more external LED lamps, a remote camera-mounted LED-based flash, and a camera simultaneously;
wherein each of the one or more external LED lamps comprises
an onboard microcontroller comprising
a wireless receiver to receive a plurality of commands from the master LED lamp so that each of the one or more external LED lamps is controlled by the master LED lamp;
wherein the master LED lamp controls a respective range, a respective intensity, a respective power level, and a respective light pattern through a respective intensity modulation for each of the master LED lamp, the remote camera-mounted LED-based flash, and the one or more external LED lamps without first obtaining exposure or pre-flash information from the camera; and
wherein the master LED lamp controls number of images taken, pre-flashes, a shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, lens metering, an aperture, and a bracketing of the camera without first obtaining the exposure or the pre-flash information from the camera.
