I know this request was made back in 2023, and had a lot of support but it does not appear to have been added or a response from Bambu Labs, so I am raising it again.
Can you please add the ability to automatically switch off the light when the printer is inactive. I know yo can manually do it, but for it to switch off after, maybe, 10 minutes of inactivity would be great.

My flashforge adventurer 5m Pro does this after 15 minutes.
I think this may require a firmware change for the P1 series.
X1C does this already. If you turn off the light while inactive, the light stays off during bed levelling, calibration, initial flow lines, and then turns on for the actual print (for the camera). Light turns off as soon as print completes.

I think most of us would agree with you. But it seems that we, as customers expecting a product to do what we purchased it for, are in the wrong. Coming from the Steve Jobs school of “We’re smarter than our customers,” it appears we’re supposed to just accept whatever Bambu hands us. This request was first made during version 1.05 for the P1 series when they initially set the light to turn on by default. Not only did Bambu ignore user requests, but they doubled down with subsequent revisions—now the fckng light comes on even after you turn it off after you start a new print. I ended up cutting the wires I have a better lighting solution anyway. What really pisses me off is that they didn’t just ignore the request; they went out of their way to show who’s in charge. Now, tell me that isn’t the epitome of supreme corporate arrogance.
Wow, go figure with bambu right? Came here to 2nd this request but didnt realize it was years in the begging
