Green Light device purifies air using plantlife

The days of using energy-hogging machines to purify your household air are all but over, at least if Natalie Jeremijenko, Amelia Amon, and Will Kavesh of the Experimental Design Lab have anything to say about it. The Green Light device is a nature lover's dream come true, as it melds LED lighting with "indoor air purification using living plants" in order to pull triple duty as a "chandelier, terrarium, and air filter." The useful creation is slated to be on display at the HauteGreen 2007 expo in New York, and considering that the "entire system is designed with products and parts that are both recycled and recyclable," we'd say it should fit right in.

So the designers are convinced they can grow plants under LED light...


... they've never tested it have they?

Moss doesn't need much light... The solar panel running it will need more light than the moss. The real problem with this system is that it's going to constantly need a lot of water. And I would be curious how much "air purification" a square foot of moss would provide.

It sure is cute, though...
