Vu1 Corporation Submits Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ A-Type Bulb for UL Certification and Will be Launched to US Consumers in August 2011

NEW YORK, June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vu1 Corporation (OTCBB: VUOC), a developer and manufacturer of mercury-free, energy-efficient general illumination lighting technology, today announced that it has submitted its A-type Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ (ESL) light bulb for UL certification.  The A-type (A19) bulb is the most commonly used bulb in the world, and the Company believes the advanced performance features of its ESL technology will be welcomed by consumers.   The Company will launch the A-type bulb to US consumers in August 2011.

The Company's ESL lighting technology uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of the mercury-free bulb glow, providing natural light quality, energy efficiency, and a long bulb life of 11,000 hours.  

Vu1 anticipates its classic Edisonian 'A'-type, screw-in light bulb will be launched into U.S. markets in August 2011 and Europe in the second half of 2012. Millions of U.S. and European households use the A19 and its European equivalent, the A60; this introduction will position the company to capitalize on current and pending regulations that will accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions.
