The invention relates to a light-emitting textile element with a free connection system, comprising an electroluminescent lamp comprising a substrate layer (2), a first electrode (3), an active dielectric layer (4), an intermediate electroluminescent layer of zinc sulfide (5), a second electrode (6), a transparent conductive layer (7) and an upper layer (8) which is joined to the substrate layer (2), where the upper layer (8) has holes (9) along the length thereof, designed to receive metal pins (10) of an extractable connecting part (11) which connects to the electronic control system and the power supply. The connecting part (11) is a clip with a system for wirelessly connecting to the electronic control system and the power battery. Preferably, it is a strip which is continuously produced with a non-plastic textile substrate layer (2) and a reflective upper layer (8).
