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
(for decoration). Though the RIS2.0 set doesn't have a light....

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.

The USB tower can be connected to the Scout and MicroScout bricks with the FO
light tube contained in the RIS2.0 set.  Have a look at WinVLL:
