Abstract
A brick comprising in combination a body element having oppositely disposed ends and spaced apart surfaces intermediate the ends, with the body element having a pair of elongated cavities extending between the oppositely disposed ends and through the spaced apart surfaces and a channel extending between the cavities. An aperture extends between each cavity and a respective one of each of the ends. Electrical lighting components are mounted in each of the cavities and include a light bulb socket secured to a wall of the cavity, a light bulb secured in the socket, first electrical wires connected to each light bulb socket through the channel, and second electrical wires connected to each light bulb socket and exiting from the body element through each aperture, such that adjacent bricks may be wired together. A light transmitting closure assembly is removably secured to each of the spaced apart surfaces to fully enclose the sides of each cavity in the body element and the electrical lighting components in each of the cavities.
