Vu1 Corporation's Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ R30 Light Bulb to be Displayed at Maryland State Highway Administration Lunch and Learn Session

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.
