The light didn't bother me in the least, but better battery life is never a bad thing.
When I play at night it lights up the room (it's a small room) and reflects on the TV. This update is a big deal to me.What I don't get is, is everyone playing with the controller upside down? I mean, I never really see the lightbar on my DS4, and actually never noticed the color changing or flashing until my girlfriend noticed it while I was playing Sound Shapes.
Unless you are playing in front of a mirror or holding the controller with the lightbar facing up, it shouldn't be an issue other than affecting the battery life.
Wow, this really bothered a lot of people huh? I don't even notice it when i'm into the game, even with the lights out...though if it conserves battery i'd turn it off.

@geoffkeighley no, I said dim the LED, not turn off

This is great news, no doubt, as I know it bothers the hell out of many people, however I have to say that playing Titanfall last night made me realize I am surprised more people do not complain about the white lit up XBox X on the One's controller.
Sure it does not emit as much light as the DS4, but in a way it is actually more annoying since it is on top of the controller. I noticed it a lot as I was in the pitch dark, which I rarely get to play in (which admittedly is probably why the DS4 never bothered me much either) but my wife was out to dinner with some friends so I turned all the lights off, cranked the surround sound to 70, and just zoned out. It was somewhat distracting in that environment.
