ABSTRACT:
An illumination arrangement for a soft object such as an article of wearing apparel utilizes a light emitting diode as a light source and an optical element coupled with the light emitting diode to enhance the visibility of the illumination arrangement by distributing light emitted by the diode uniformly over a length or surface area of the optical element. The optical element may for example form part of a lace assembly, strap, or decorative panel of a shoe, boot, or sandal.
