14,000 lights turn house into Christmas beacon

JOHN LYONS’ home in Limerick has been transformed into a spectacular Christmas beacon.

Draped with more than 14,000 festive lights, the three-bedroomed semi glows in the night sky.

He has strung nearly a mile of lighting along the roof, walls, and through the gardens, transforming his home at Cragaune, Fr Russell Road in the Raheen suburb, into a winter wonderland.
