I tested this on a real machine (as opposed to VM box), and the LEDs
remain set and do not auto cancel. Suspect host OS was doing something to
device.
There is another bit of weirdness though, when plugged in my Intec
controller slow flashes the LEDs. This is overwritten when I set any LED
through the LED class, but returns to flashing when I clear all LEDs via
the class.
IE. there is no way to turn all the the LEDs off.
The DualShock3/SixAxis behaves slightly differently in that the flashing
does not return when all the LEDs are turn off.
>From some of my earlier investigations I had some notes about LED settings
which might be of help.

Attached is a script which works with my Intec, but not with the SixAxis.
