So far as I understand your question, every lightsource behind the lego block
shedding light on the block will work. A spotlight pointing in an other
direction wan't work. May be it is more important in your case that the lego
block has the proper material (transparency, ior). If you are going for caustics
you should study the tutorial within the docs first.

Diffuse backside illumination as demonstrated by Christoph Lipka (a.k.a. clipka)
within the POV sample files (diffuse_back.pov) is another issue.

Best regards,
Michael
