The constant-width illumination conjecture in three dimensions

Let K\mathbf{K} be a three-dimensional convex body of constant width. Constant-width illumination conjecture. The illumination number satisfies I(K)=4I(\mathbf{K})=4. The known general upper bound is I(K)6I(\mathbf{K})\leq 6, and the conjecture would imply a new proof of Borsuk's conjecture in dimension three; it remains open.
