The X-wing can be adapted thanks to its USB port on a PC or on its base. It will serve as keyboard lamp on my workstation with the 4 LED reactors that are currently hidden for paintjob.

I dug the extremity of the reactors for a better diffusion of lighting, inside the reactors did not need much modification to insert the LED.
