A top with a lighting device includes a hollow body and a cover detachably inserted into a top of the hollow body. The cover has a grip upward and centrally extending from a top of the cover and a through hole defined therein. A skirt centrally and downward extends from a bottom of the cover to define a cavity for receiving a battery. An L-shaped electrode plate is mounted to the skirt and electrically connected to a first electrode of the battery. The lighting device has a lighting element received in the through hole. The lighting element has a first electrode electrically connected to a second electrode of the battery and a second electrode selectively electrically connected to the L-shaped electrode plate for lighting the lighting element.
