It was just for illustration of the idea. Names can be agreed. I have 
nothing against led-sources name. I was just looking at datasheet to try 
to undestand what it did and then tried to figure out if it could be 
mapped the idea I have been playing with.

I'll reply to Jacek's email about more clarifications of the idea.
