Background
The holotape to activate this station can be found in the X-2 transmitter antenna array. Light Switch 01 speaks to the player intelligently, but in a seductive tone. She makes innuendos and comments on the player's decisions. The Light Switch 01 Upgrade: Smart Lights can be found on the bottom most level of the X-12 research center leaning against a projecting unit. It appears to be in a conflict with Light Switch 02.

Effects of player's actions
- After retrieving the upgrade module for Light Switch 01, the switch can bathe the Courier in "Smart Light", effectively increasing their Intelligence by 2, and their Science and Repair skills by 5 points each. This effect will linger for up to twelve hours, or unless the player activates the "Mood Lights" controlled by Light Switch 02.

Other interactions
