The invention relates to an electric luminous device, particularly relates to a Chinese-style lantern which has a wind power generation function and is capable of controlling luminescence by means of automatically inducting external illumination brightness degree, and provides a self-induction wind-powered lantern. The self-induction wind-powered lantern comprises a hanging seat module, a wind power module and an electric control module and consists of 27 parts including a hanger, roller bases, a variable-speed fluted disc, an auspicious cloud cover, tassels, a tassel stem, a wind wheel lantern body, a positioning top plate, a reverse conical pulley, a single-phase generator, a manual switch, an illumination sensor, a photoelectric controller, an annular lamp holder and the like. Shortcomings that existing electric luminous equipment needs an external power source and does not have national characteristics and the like are overcome, the self-induction wind-powered lantern does not need an external power source, is rich in national characteristics and reliability, emits bright and brilliant lamplight, can be widely used for being hung and used on buildings such as pavilions, corridors of rooms, eaves, door lanes and the like, not only can be used as a daily luminous device, but also can be used as small-sized power generating equipment, can meet service requirements of hotels, government offices, schools and enterprises, is wide in market space, and has high economical added value and social service value.
