The amount of usefully captured light in an optical system may be increased by concentrating light in a region where it can be collected by the optical system. A light emitting device may include a substrate and a plurality of semiconductor layers. In some embodiments, a reflective material overlies a portion of the substrate and has an opening through which light exits the device. In some embodiments, reflective material overlies a portion of a surface of the semiconductor layers and has an opening through which light exits the device. In some embodiments, a light emitting device includes a transparent member with a first surface and an exit surface. At least one light emitting diode is disposed on the first surface. The transparent member is shaped such that light emitted from the light emitting diode is directed toward the exit surface.
