Four leds in series, standard breadboard.
Didn't bother to conceal the support components, except for the diodes & capacitors on the two leds in the back.
Power comes from a two-channel function generator set at 15MHz and 100 Hz. Outputs are connected in anti-series (common ground, circuit between the two outputs). The LF leds and switches have a 100nF capacitor parallel to allow the HF current to pass. Likewise, the HF leds and switches have a 2.2uH inductor in series to allow the LF current to pass.
There is some residual lighting and mutual influence, which can probably be taken care of by selecting more suitable diodes (now ordinary 1n4148) and inductors.
The resistors on the far end only provide some loading on the generators when the leds are off. This reduces the residual lighting a little bit.
