NEW YORK, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vu1 Corporation
(OTCBB: VUOC), a developer and manufacturer of a new, mercury-free,
energy efficient general purpose lighting technology, today
announced that its energy-efficient and non-toxic Electron
Stimulated Luminescence™ R30 Light Bulb is being displayed at a
Maryland State Highway Administration luncheon. The
Earth Day Team at the Maryland State
Highway Administration is displaying energy efficient light bulb as
part of its Lunch and Learn session entitled, Save Energy, Save
Money.
The bulb, which is based on Vu1's unique ESL lighting technology
platform, uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor and
create light, making the surface of the bulb glow and providing
natural light quality for up to 11,000 hours. The bulbs are
fully dimmable, energy-efficient, non-toxic and provide a light
quality virtually indistinguishable from traditional incandescent
light bulbs.
The R30 light bulb sells at the MSRP of $19.95 (excluding tax, shipping and handling),
approximately half the price of LEDs at the lowest end of the LED
pricing range, and is currently available for purchase on the
Company's website at www.vu1.com.
