Overview
The Indicator Light is a component that lights up a Game Object. The Indicator light works by changing the emission property of a material to simulate a light. It consists of two components; Physical and Logic. Both are needed to control the light through a logic adapter (connecting the Indicator Light to an external controller through a Logic Simulator ). Adding a Control Panel gives you the option to control the light from the Unity scene.

The light state can be switched between enabled and disabled. The intensity of the light can also be customized along with the color of the light used when in enabled or disabled state.
