The Christmas lights decoration recently lit at Sun Plaza shopping center in Bucharest, with 449,658 light bulbs, entered the Guinness Book, establishing a record for the Christmas lights decoration with the biggest number of light bulbs. The previous record was of 150,000 light bulbs.

The installation includes more than 500 lights curtains, as well as 40 Christmas trees with 2,400 leds, along with 120 lights garlands along the escalators in the shopping mall.  Sun Plaza was opened in February 2010 by EMCT Romania and Sparkassen Immobilien.

Romania has previously got the attention with other world record breaking attempts. In 2008, 4,000 Romanians dressed as Santa Claus in an event attempting to win the Guinness World Record for the most people dressed as Santa in one town.  This year, a Romanian designer received a Guinness World Records certificate for a dress with 43,008 crystals.
