U Sco in the I band. This light curve is similar to that in the B band (see Figure  45), with the most important difference being that the secondary minimum is prominent, with an amplitude of typically around 0.3 mag. This is not surprising as the companion star is much redder than the accretion disk, so the secondary minimum will become more prominent as the observing band moves to the red.
