'screens' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'light sources had two points' is the wordplay.
'light sources' becomes 'lamps' (I've seen this in another clue).
'two points' becomes 'ES' (two compass points).
'lamps'+'had'+'es'='LAMPSHADES'

'and' acts as a link.
