I have noticed the exact same thing. I have had to turn off the light manually every time since this firmware upgrade. I didn’t notice it at first since I print fairly infrequently, and as a result the light was on for a couple of days the first time.
I have a P1S since Christmas and so far, the light never shuts off automatically.
It turns on no matter if Timelaps is activated or not and stays that way.
I assume it is more an issue with the Bambu Studio Slicer, putting the code in the files that switches the light on 
I can confirm the same behavior once I upgrade to 1.04.
SO bambu support has replied, I am not complaining, but I think there may be a language barrier going on?
here was one reply
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Bambu Lab support. I am sorry to see that you are experiencing problems with your printer, but rest assured we will provide support to solve them as soon as possible. In this case, the problem seems to be related to the LED light.
This behavior is normal as it generally turns on automactically when the pritn starts, The only time it may turn off by itself is if the printer has been idle and goes into sleep mode, However even then it still may remain on.
For this you are welcome to adjust the G-code for the start and end of the printing profile to turn on or off the light.
For mre infromation on this you may visit: Gcode control to disable LED lighting
Please let me know fi you ahve any questions.
Best Regards
Miles

as you can see no where in that post does it mention or point to a “gcode” that can be put in to turn the light off at the end of the print, or even what gcode would be making it turn on at the beginning of the print.
NOW there is this link that explains some of the Gcode. , but it is for a X1 carbon not a P1S
i’ve tweeked gcode in my startup and shutdowns on my 3d printers before, I do not see any mention of the LED light, but I also do see that my P1S has the
M960 S5 P1 Bambu Lab toolhead logo light on
gcode, I do not have a “toolhead logo light” that I am aware of on the P1S.
so maybe I need to try to put in the
M960 S5 P0 Bambu Lab toolhead logo light off gcode in the end gcode, and see if this resolves the issue?
i have a print going now, but i’ll try when it’s done.
here is a snip of the start G-code
I haven’t touched anything in the start, it is exactly as it has always been
and below it is the End code.
I added M960 S5 P0 Bambu Lab toolhead logo light off
as you can see, even on the P1S which does not have a tool light, it does have the “M960 S5 P1” code to turn on the tool light.
so, I figure, it’s worth a try to see if adding this to the end code will turn the light off.
I don’t expect it to work. as the light comes on when you SEND the file to the printer, or hit print.
before the printer is even done downloading the light turns on. so I don’t expect this test to work.
however, it does mean that the printer is fully capable of turning the light on and off without manually doing it. the real question is “what” is making the light turn on by itself.
again, this happens in bambu handy, Bambu Slicer or from the SD card itself.
so I have to expect it is something in the firmware, because of WHEN the light it turning on.
BUT… i’ll test this theory at least, as the Bambu Support said it was “gcode” related.
ok, ran a 9 min print.
the light comes on before it’s even done downloading the print. the print goes fine, the light never shuts off, even after the fans are all off and the printer is back to sleep mode.
To me that tells me that the control of the light isn’t in the Gcode. how can the Gcode affect the light if it isn’t even done downloading yet?
i’m going to remove the Gcode I added, does make me wonder why “turn on the tool light” gcode is even in the start up script on a P1S?
I’ll see what Tech Support has to say.
so far it’s a question that has been asked, and issue that has been noticed my multiple people on the internet, but no answer or fix has ever been posted.
general thing to think about though. it is clear that SOMETHING turns the light on as soon as you “send” the print from the Handy App, or Bambu Slicer. so you would think there would be a way for Bambu to turn the light back off when it’s done printing. OR… just stop the light from comming on automatically like my printer did for weeks. prior to this my light did not come on automatically, so something changed…
Hello, did anybody manage to fix the problem? P1S, firmware up to date. The light turns on when I start to print, but it never turns off. It will stay on for days (when I was on vacation and came back after a week, i was surprised the light didnt turn off). Is there a way to fix this? Normally i would not notice this, since i print all day all night, but when the printer was in sleep mode for couple of days, how did it not turn off the light as well? BTW, what is that “sleep mode” option in the settings for? I thought thats for the light
It’s for the screen
25 limit
Ok so there is a timer for that little screen but not for that bright light? Hope thy fix that soon with the next update
No, tech support never resolved the issue. I don’t mean to talk bad but they genuinely seemed to not understand much about the printer to be honest.
they told me repeatedly that it was a “start code” in the gcode. but it is not.
one of the reasons I can confirm this is because if you print from either the bambu handy, or the bambu studio app, the light turns on even inside LED turns on even before the print is done downloading.
this was NEVER the case prior to the update. I had to Manually turn on the light if I wanted it on, and turn it off when I didn’t. Now it turns on by itself, and never turns off.
I genuinely believe that something in the programming on the two APPS themselves was changed. I’m starting to suspect it was not firmware on the printer, but the coding in the Apps that is turning the light on.
It’s NOT gcode. again, the print is not even downloaded when the light comes on. Gcode does not run until it is completley downloaded to the printer.
long story short. No tech support never resolved the issue.

I am having the same issue P1S
This is still a problem for me as ALL the cabinet & AMS lighting attracts critters during overnight prints. IMO a total dark-mode option would be great if someone smarter than me can R&D that… But all I can find online are ppl MacGyver’ing solutions for MORE light… hahaha
I have problems with bugs being attracted to the printer on overnight prints too. I think I’m just going to disconnect the lamp. There are instructions on the wiki to replace it - just do the first half. Then do the M960 command for the toolhead light.
It would be nice to have an ‘all lights off option’ though.
yep sounds like a plan man.
Its funny but my initial issue with insects went a bit furher though. Here in Australia its common to have friendly guests called Huntsman’s (Huntsman spider - Wikipedia). One morning I thought my X1C had a light brown loom of wiring fall from behind the mobo panel… they turned out to be legs

The infuriating thing is it turns on automatically, so somwhere in the software they could fix it. Or tell US how to fix it!!! But tech support themselves dont even know what the software does

Yeah, Qld here. Perhaps it’s only Australians that worry about this because we’ve got all the bugs
Funnily enough I got it working they way I want today, as follows.
- (Using Bambu Studio, don’t know about Orca)
- Add M960 S5 P0 to the end of Printer start gcode
- Key step. Make sure the light is off before you click Print Plate
- When you click Print Plate, then Send, the light should stay off until the end of bed levelling.
- 2nd Key step. When it starts Layer 1 the light comes on - switch it off again
After that the light should stay off, at least it does for me.
I was also wondering if it has anything to do with spaghetti detection. That would need the light on I think. Mine is on, haven’t tried turning it off.
Hey David, thanks for that mate I’ll see what use I can make of it. So far it makes sense that the code/script is an ‘end of job’ instruction. So in effect, you are telling it to not put the light ON after final layer… as it usually does. I don’t want to sound like a FDM guru, I’m not, but I noticed when watching a print via the phone app with LED off I see glowing trace like an IR light under the print head. It’s my guess that is how LiDAR and AI tricks I.e. spag detection can see in the dark - but I’m often wrong 
If I manually turn the light off after I send the print to the printer it always stays off for me. What the printer did when I ORIGINALLY GOT IT was the light did not turn on or off without the user MANUALLY turning it on or off.
now it turns on Automatically, I just don’t want the light to turn on automatically. at all. and Bambu Support keeps saying there is a Gcode to do this, but they cannot give me the Gcode.
ALSO, it doesn’t makes sense that its a Gcode because the light turns on BEFORE the printer is even done downloading the print job from the app or the deskop app.
