Vu1 Confirms Initial Bulb Order to be Shipped in December 2010

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Vu1 Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VUOC), a developer and manufacturer of mercury-free, energy-efficient, general illumination lighting technology, today announced that it now plans to ship the initial order for its R30 Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ (ESL) energy-efficient reflector light bulbs, later in December.  The order, which was placed by a leading northwest electrical distributor, represents the commercialization of the Company's lighting technology.  The Company anticipates recognizing revenue related to this shipment in the first quarter of 2011, following successful completion of performance tests by the customer.

"Clearly, this is a major milestone for Vu1, and we are delighted to be ending the year on such a positive note," commented Philip Styles, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Moreover, our prospects for 2011 are very encouraging; since Vu1 received UL certification, interest in our ESL bulb has increased dramatically, and our team at Integrated Sales Solutions (ISS) is currently responding to more than 100 potential sales and channel partner inquiries."

Vu1's R30 ESL™ bulb is a direct replacement for the 65W incandescent flood bulb. It is virtually indistinguishable from the traditional incandescent lamp it replaces and, unlike CFLs, is mercury-free.  The Company's ESL Lighting Technology uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of the bulb "glow," providing natural light quality, energy efficiency and a long bulb life of 10,000 hours.  

According to recent industry reports, the U.S. market comprises 800 million recessed can lights with over 140 million bulbs sold per year.   To accelerate the introduction and adoption of Vu1's products into the hardware/home improvement, and club/mass market retail channels, the Company has engaged Integrated Sales Solutions (ISS), LLC, a specialist sales and marketing consulting business co-founded by Bill Hamlin, a former The Home Depot (HD) senior executive and Vu1 Board member.
