Trust me. We all wish we could. There really isn't much use for it. Some games use it for some mundane reason (like health status changing color) but in the heat of the game you don't really notice. Problem is it does eat battery life. Best you can do is turn it down as low as you can in the system settings.I'm very happy with my ps4, although i wish i could turn of the light on the controller and on the console itself.
Great graphics, great apps, great exclusive games.
The battery time for the controller could be improved also.
Really? Makes sense but wouldn't have thought that because the dual shock 3 uses two motors also and that lasts much longer. Guess if they redesigned them and they use more juice that could explain it. And the light always on probably doesn't help the situationYou can dim the light on the controller quite a bit in settings, i read that its not the light that drains the battery so much its the twin vibration motors as in some games they are in use almost constantly, TBH i now just plug mine in on a long USB extension if i am planning to have a long gaming session.

Ah yes. Very good point. Didn't think about that. In terms of an update, that would be sweet to make a more efficient model. Not expecting it. Sony only came out with one revision to the DS3. I had both and the only difference I noticed between the 2 was how the battery was seated in the circuit board. Other than that the electronics looked the same and I've shared components between the 2 models. Actually the only difference in model # was a U at the end of the model #.The problem is the Dualshock 4 is more advanced, the more advanced motors, circuits, light, etc require more juice. Next gen games also require more juice because of the features like the touchpad, changing lights on the controller, and the sensor pad.
Despite how advanced we are getting with these technologies, we have yet to master how to make them work efficiently. I would expect that a year or two down the line we will get an updated version of the DS4
