 		 #171605 - To me, it wasn't

To me it was absolutely clear, what he meant with "non-polarized" LED. What else should it be?

To me, it was completely meaningless!

The 'D' in "LED" stands for "Diode", and that is an inherently unidirectional device; ie, it is inherently polarised - so "non-polarised LED" makes no sense at all to me.
It is a contradiction in terms.

What they have here is not a "non-polarised LED"; ie, some special kind of LED that is not polarised - what they actually have is an arrangement of two normal, polarised LEDs connected such that only one of them will light with each applied polarity.

Again, to be fair to Finder, their datasheet does actually say, "double LED (DC non-polarized)" and has a diagram that clearly shows what they mean.

Thus the problem is not in the Finder datasheet - the problem is in the OP's out-of-context and abbreviated use of their term.
