An illuminated wind indicator that provides visual indication of wind
motion even at night. One or more chime members and a pendulum assembly
are suspended from a support or housing, and arranged so that the chime
members and the pendulum assembly are capable of colliding with each
other. In addition, there is a light source situated such that a portion
of the pendulum assembly emits light. Power for the light source is
provided by a solar cell and a rechargeable battery. A light sensor may
be used to automatically detect the ambient light and switch the
rechargeable battery from accumulating charge to powering the light when
predetermined levels of ambient light are detected. The light source may
be a suitable light emitting diode. The pendulum assembly may contain the
solar panel. The light source may include a luminescent material.
