The unconventional light display draws nightly crowds of more than 100 people to the Gillespie Road house in Melbourne's north-west. From 9pm until 11pm Sunday to Wednesday and 9pm until 11.30pm Thursday to Saturday, 11 songs play on repeat, with people able to tune their car radios to listen to the music. But not everyone is getting into the festive spirit, with some neighbours claiming it has lured scores of electronic music fans looking for a party. "It's not attracting families. It attracts hoons that come speeding up and down the street, doing burn outs ... drinking, dropping rubbish," neighbour Carmel Gotsis said. John Sacco, who lives directly across the road, said while the lights looked impressive, unruly hoons had kept his family awake at night.

"Sometimes they've parked across our driveway late at night and they're doing burnouts in the street with the music blaring." Although the home has been lit up each Christmas for about five years, it only developed a strong following last year. Popular Israeli psytrance duo Vini Vici posted a video of the lights synced to their music on Facebook – and it went viral. The video has attracted more than 8.8 million views and 85,000 likes. Mr Nguyen, 20, says he was inspired by YouTube videos of homes with light displays set to the hit South Korean pop song Gangnam Style.

The energy-efficient lights mean the bill for the entire month of December is less than $30. The light display at Mr Nguyen's house.

A sign on the front fence reads: "Please respect our neighbours by keeping the noise down." Nearby, Mr Nguyen has placed a blue plastic bucket where visitors can make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

He said he raised hundreds of dollars for the charity last year. Loading But neighbour Ms Gotsis said she had spent several thousand dollars on a fence to keep the crowds off her property. "As soon as it was advertised on Facebook, it got out of control. It got really, really bad," she said. She said carloads of youths had caused traffic jams, and it could take more than half-an-hour to travel past 10 houses.

Ms Gotsis said she had complained to Brimbank Council, hoping they would order Mr Nguyen to take the music out of the show. However, she said the owners caused no trouble for the rest of the year. "[But] the whole month of December turns into a nightmare." The light and music display has divided the street.

"I think it's great and it looks beautiful. He puts a lot of hard work into it and it pays off. " Another neighbour said: "I have no issue with it, whatsoever. Good on him. Our kids love it and he's pretty smart to do all that himself." By 9pm on Thursday, the Christmas lights were illuminating the street, attracting many visitors arriving. Laurel and Charlie Spiteri have been bringing their daughters Ella, 9, and Milla, 6, to the lights for years. "We love it," Mr Spiteri said.
