  Largest outdoor Christmas lights display: David Richards sets world record

 CANBERRA, Australia -- Canberra father David Richards used 29,630m of LED strings, 15,000 cable ties and one 18m of light-controlled tree (27 kilometres of lights) to become the first to hold the record for the largest outdoor Christmas lights display, according to World Record Academy (www.worldrecordacademy.com).

  The Guinness world record for the most lights lit simultaneously on a Christmas tree is 194,672 and was achieved by Kiwanis Malmedy / Haute Fagnes Belgium in Malmedy, Belgium.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest Christmas lights decoration in an indoor venue; it consisted of 449,658 individual lights sources and was achieved by the Sun Plaza shopping centre (Romania) in Bucharest, Romania.
  
   "The lights I started four years ago with one string above the door and then I took it a bit further some would say," Mr Richards told news.com.au

  Mr Richard's said this year's display was twice as big as last year's so was anticipating a lot of visitors between now and Christmas.

  Despite the four year investment in the light display Mr Richards said won't be doing it all again next year, saying he hoped to be able to donate the lights to someone else who would continue to use them to raise money for Sids and Kids.
