56,000 Christmas Lights. One House.

This presentation from Fountain Valley, CA puts Clark Griswold to shame...

Taking over 48 days to complete, it will surprise you to learn that with all those lights, the whole system only draws a maximum of 24 Amps running on 120v AC (2880 watts). Essentially, the same amount of power to run a hair dryer and a vacuum cleaner together.



As cool as that was, I think it still pales in comparison to last year's over-the-top Christmas light champions from Murrieta, CA where they wired together 13 houses on the same street...
