Hot or Not? The Green Light

It's an LED chandelier/planter pot from the xDesign Environmental Health Clinic at New York University. The concept goes like this: More energy-efficient (read: insulated) buildings actually trap more indoor air pollutants -- the LED lamp will promote photosynthesis in the plant, and the plant will filter the air.

What do you think?

I think the amount of plant life needed to actually make any sort of real difference in a living/working space as this purports far exceeds that of a puny lamp. Smacks to me of something trying to sucker me.

Looks like something out of the 70s.
