NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vu1 Corporation
(OTCBB: VUOC), a developer and manufacturer of mercury-free,
energy-efficient, general illumination lighting technology, today
announced that it has received final approval for UL listing for
its A-type Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ (ESL) light bulb.
Millions of households globally use the A19 and its European
equivalent, the A60, and this introduction will further support
achievement of the Company's goal of capitalizing on current and
pending regulations that will accelerate the adoption of
energy-efficient lighting solutions.
"This is another important milestone for Vu1 and a further
validation of our unique ESL lighting technology with two
UL-approved products," commented Dr. Scott
Blackstone, Chief Executive Officer. "My goal over the
coming weeks is to finalize the conversations we have been having

glow thus providing a natural light quality. Additionally, in
addition to being energy efficient, Vu1's light bulbs are
mercury-free and have a long bulb life of 11,000 hours.
