    You know something? It might be interesting to have two-way LEDs for data communication. Basically like an RGB led or neopixrl, but with an additional channel for a phototransistor. That would allow configuring the light using your phone and a Bluetooth adapter,or something of that sort. USB is actually a pretty big pain.
