Sony's DualShock 4 light bar can't be turned off to save battery

Not sure why everyone STILL seems to not realise the light ABSOLUTLY CAN be turned off. It can be done so by devs. In any game the devs can give you an option to turn it off. So said Yoshida. /thread

Nice thread necromancy.

Again, the PS4 uses four tiny LEDs for the light bar, just like the Dualshock 3, Xbox 360 controller, and one less than the 5 in the Wii U pro controller. LEDs use up almost nothing, even if they are all on at once. It's rumble and bluetooth that kill the battery. The reason the Wii U pro controller's battery life is so incredible is because it only uses 1 rumble motor instead of the two found in the DualShock 3 or Xbox 360 controller.

The problem people are having is with the reflection in your TV. Like I said, "it can be turned off."
