The light meter does react to changes in lighting, but you're mistakenly expecting preview renders to look the same even though the rendering engine is different.
If you were to switch on "Progressive Mode" in render settings, with Pixel Samples = 3, you'd find your main render and preview render are almost identical.
Progressive mode is using a completely different set of rules for lighting.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
