The present invention provides a compact, portable light sour-ce (1), preferably sized to be readily hand-held, for illuminating an object, several objects, or areas for human use and/or machine operation. The function of the portable light source (1) is controlled by a first microprocessor (51) located inside the portable light source. The first microprocessor (51) is externally accessible either through a direct link to an external control unit (54) or through a link involving one or more other microprocessors located in accessible positions of the portable light source. The function can hence be customized by the user himself to any given situation making the portable light source especially suitable for professional use, i.e. for security, police and military use.
