Systems for apparatuses formed of light emitting devices. Solutions for controlling the off-state appearance of lighting system designs is disclosed. Thermochromic materials are selected in accordance with a desired off-state of an LED device. The thermochromic materials are applied to a structure that is in a light path of light emitted by the LED device. In the off-state the LED device produces a desired off-state colored appearance. When the LED device is in the on-state, the thermochromic materials heat up and become more and more transparent. The light emitted from the device in its on-state does not suffer from color shifting due to the presence of the thermochromic materials. Furthermore, light emitted from the LED device in its on-state does not suffer from attenuation due to the presence of the thermochromic materials. Techniques to select and position thermochromic materials in or around LED apparatuses are presented.

A light emitting shoe assembly includes a shoe that is wearable on a user's foot. The shoe has a vamp, a heel, a heel lift, a shank, a heel breast, an outsole and a collar. A light emitter is integrated into the shoe such that the light emitter emits light outwardly from the shoe. A template is integrated into the light emitter and the template is comprised of a light impermeable material to inhibit light from passing through the template. A pattern is punched through the template to produce an image on the support surface. A color switch is movably integrated into the shoe and the color switch is electrically coupled to the light emitter thereby altering a color of light that is emitted by the light emitter.
