The base includes an AC adaptor to power the LEDs, but as this is designed for Japan's 100v electrical system, you may need a power convertor to use it with your country's electrical system. Another interesting feature of the base is the choice of surfaces provided: a clear plate to show the mirrored surface of the base, plus two "photo sheets", one showing the surface of the ocean and one showing Mt. The base features two mounted LED spotlights for realistic illumination of the Stack. A separate stand is also provided to display the Orbiter alone in flight, and can be placed on the main base together with the ET and SRBs.
