So how would that be light pollution?<br/><br/>Put UV led light in water to kill bactieral, Put red,green, and blue for plants to grow twice as healthier....

I would certainly be opposed to seeing significant rooftop 'decoration' (advertising or otherwise) for that reason. Perhaps, the lights could be switched off half an hour after dusk?

I could however see how this might be neat to apply for architectural uses - non informational contexts.

It's like using hybrid automotive technology to eke more horsepower or greater acceleration out of a conventional system rather than using the technology to conserve natural resources. Another dumb idea that some genius will market as 'green.' When the last real designer left he forgot to shut the lights out.
