During the Christmas season lamps are put on the guys and make the tower the biggest Christmas tree in the world. There were plans to limit these decorations to once every 5 years, but sponsoring has allowed the seasonal lighting to be put up every year so far. However, during Christmas 2006 there were no decorations on the mast.
Due to the repairs after the fire on July 15th 2011, the lights were limited to the white light on the top and searchlights at the base.
