ABSTRACT:
A building element (10) for a constructional building set comprises a housing (11, 12) and a light source (15) mounted in it. The light source (15) is mounted on a rotatably mounted member (14) spaced from the axis of rotation (13) of the member. The housing (11, 12) includes a wall having a plurality of light exit openings (16) through which the light from the light source (15) can leave the housing (11, 12), when the light emitter (15) has been aligned with one of the light exit openings (16) by rotation of the rotatable member (14). The rotatable member (14) can be coupled with an external drive device (20) and is enclosed by the housing (11, 12). The rotatable member is freely rotatable about its axis of rotation (13) with respect to the housing (11, 12).
