It could be used in the same way it is in the spybotics set... (though the
spybotics set has a 12L one). Maybe spybotics uses it to send light through

I think it is supposed to connect the USB tower to something,
notice the hole in front of the LED that is used in VLL mode.
That something might be a CodePilot, MicroScout or Spybotics brick,
but I never tried it.
