Take a paper clip or a safety pin, turn the controller over (the side without buttons) and next to the screw on the top (closest to the words SIXAXIS) there is a little hole there. Insert the paperclip in it and the lights will have turned off.

When you get your PS3 back, go to settings-->powersave settings-->controller auto-off ON. The controller will turn off automatically after 10 mins if you don't use it.
