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 with select wholesale electrical and retail distributors and continue building up inventory levels to meet partners’ needs in advance of launching Vu1’s A-type bulb.”

Vu1’s R30 and A19 light bulbs use accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of its bulbs glow thus providing a natural light quality.
