A decorative lighting device includes a casing, a generator assembly including an armature spindle which rotates to induce relative rotation in an electrical winding-magnet system, a counter weight device, and at least one illuminating element. The casing is attachable to a rotary body to be rotated with the rotary body. The casing defines an interior space to receive the generator assembly in such a way that the armature spindle is fixed to and rotates with the casing. The counter weight device is fixed to the generator assembly and is constructed to maintain the gravity center of the generator assembly downward by means of eccentric counterbalancing. The illuminating element is electrically connected to the generator assembly. When the rotary body rotates, a relative rotation is caused between the electrical winding and the magnet of the generator assembly to induce electrical power by electromagnetic induction. The power is then supplied to the illuminating element for emission of light.
