A luminous element is described for a light chain (24) having a number of spaced-apart luminous means (12) on an electrical conductor element (10), the luminous element (14) having two luminous body parts (16) which are at least partially translucent and for temporarily enclosing the luminous element The two luminous body parts (16) have boundary surfaces (18) which bear against one another in the active enclosing state of the luminous body parts (16), and wherein the boundary surfaces (18) are provided with recesses (20) for the conductor element (10 ) are formed, which in the active Umschließzustand the luminous body parts (16) are opposite and form at least one conductor through hole (22).
