Richards' 2014 record was smashed in June at a hotel in Myoko, Japan, by an image of a dragon comprising 1,529,103 lights. "Some people say I've got quite a knack for getting people to do things for nothing," Richards said. That 36-meter (118-foot) Japanese tree had set a new benchmark of 374,280 lights this month.
