MORE than half a million Christmas lights have been switched on in Canberra, smashing a Guinness world record for the largest number on one house.
The Richards family in Forrest have turned on more than 500,000 lights, eclipsing the 346,283 displayed by a family in LaGrangeville, New York.
David Richards said on Sunday the effort was aimed at raising funds for SIDS & Kids ACT.
He said the cause was one "very close to our hearts" since SIDS counsellors had helped his family through the devastation of losing a child.
The money they raise from gold coin donations will help pay for more counsellors.
The lights, all 502,165, include multicoloured streamers, icicles, candy canes, reindeer and a Christmas tree.
Mr Richards says he and his wife and three kids love the spectacle of Christmas and the catching up with neighbours and fiends that goes with having an open house.
People can visit them after dark from November 30 to December 26 at 3 Tennyson Crescent, Forrest.
Last year they raised $78,000.
