A flexible and optionally highly elastic waveguide capable of propagating and emitting light (51) is disclosed. The flexible waveguide (50) comprises a flexible material (52) having a surface and an end, wherein a first portion of the light is emitted through at least a portion of the surface (54) of the flexible waveguide (50), and a second of the light (51) is emitted through the end. The flexible waveguide (50) can be used, for example as an area illuminator for many applications. Additionally disclosed is a clothing device for providing illumination. The clothing device (10) comprises clothing (or even optionally a sheet) and a light source for providing light. In one embodiment the clothing device comprises the flexible waveguide. |
