Summary

This wind powered garden light lights up all night as long as there is a breeze blowing.

A small electric motor used as a generator on the bottom of the sail powers LED lights on the sail to create 'rings' of light.

I have used a brushless motor to create the effect of 'twinkling', but there are many other variations you could try.
