Thanks,
The light bar on the controller is used to identify the player in the game. Player 1 is blue, player 2 is red, player 3 is green, and player 4 is pink. If you disconnect your DualShock 4 and for some reason the light turns white, hold the ps button for 15 seconds and the controlller will reset.
The light bar is also the source of the DualShock 4's move functionality, which helps the PS4 with functions such as determining where the player is located within the room.
Developers will be able to communicate information via the light bar in the future. For example, in Killzone: Shadow Fall, the light bar evolves into another color as the action heats up and the player takes damage, signifying that things are awry.
