Hello @Scottmc1980,
as far as I am concerned the only solution is to unplug the TV from the wall or get a switchable socket.

Hello @Scottmc1980,
I don't think there is an option, since the USB-port has power as long as the TV is in StandBy.

Not quite right. It will switch off as soon as the TV goes into deep sleep. But there are a dozen wakeups per hour which will again lit the bias lighting, see BRAVIA standby behavior.
That's what I'm trying to do is completely turn my sony tv off but the only way is to switch off at wall and I dont fancy doing that all time they must be a way to turn all power off from tv
Do you have any other suggestions thank you

Long shot, but if the TV has the IR blaster function, and the LED lights are a controllable device from it, that might do it. Still needs a separate press, though.
Otherwise, get a smart remote, a Harmony for instance, and program it with a task to turn the TV and the LED lights on and off together.
There is one way to add this cool feature to almost any TV, but with certain limitations. Now let's take a look at the most popular and affordable options that allow you to get backlighting without changing your TV. What is Ambilight? Ambilight (ambient light technology) is a technology invented and patented by Philips that provides adaptive background backlighting on the company's TV panels. The system analyzes the color palette of the picture on the screen and turns on a similar glow around the perimeter of the TV. It all works dynamically. I bought them here at ukled.co.uk. And I will say that I am happy with the result, significantly when I can change different colors to suit my moods.
Get a Smart Socket which is controlled with an app. That will switch the socket off which in turn will switch your TV off and the USB ports. That is your only solution.
