If your idea of adding a festive touch to your house is to drape a string fairy lights across the garage, then get ready to rethink your entire decorations strategy.

Tech-savvy YouTuber TomBetGeorge has decked his California home in 70,000 lights, timed to light up in sync with the orchestral score from the Star Wars franchise, creating one epic neighbourhood light show like no other.

Tom’s handywork will take you on an emotional rollercoaster through the Death Star, Mos Eisley Cantina, an epic lightsaber battle and a rousing finale that will have you hitting the repeat button, eager to watch it all over again.

The YouTuber says it costs him about $80 to run the show for a few hours each night, with donations from local residents going directly to a homeless shelter in the area of Tracy, California.

And though flashing lights could be considered a nightmare for nearby neighbours, he says he is thankful to have the support of the community.

"A big shout out to the best neighbourhood ever (I'm actually using my neighbours' lawn if you haven't noticed)," he writes in the video description. "They are all wonderful people and I'm glad to be a part of the community.

“I am careful not to hit any windows the lights, of course, and only run the show Fri-Sun from 6-9 (6-8 on Sundays).”
