Vu1, a company specializing in zero-mercury lighting technology, has declared that it has hastened the development and introduction plans of its 'A'-type Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) light bulbs.
Vu1 expects that its Edisonian screw-in light bulb will be introduced in the US and European markets during the second half of 2011, which is ahead of its original launching plan. The product launch will allow the company to leverage the present and awaiting regulations that encourage the use of energy-conserving illumination solutions.
Consumers are not willing to use energy-efficient lighting solutions, which often need a compromise on quality of light, functionality or shape of the bulb. Vu1’s A60 and A19 bulbs are perfect substitute for conventional household incandescent applications.
Vu1’s ESL illumination technology employs accelerated electrons to agitate phosphor and generate light. This makes the bulb’s surface to shine and in turn offers an energy-efficient and natural light quality. The bulb has a lifespan of 10,000 h.
