I just read about an interesting new technology for light bulbs, being developed by a company out of Seattle.
Vu1 has developed a new technology called ESL - Electron Stimulated Luminescence. Essentially, they are claiming to have developed a light bulb that has all the qualities I care about as a consumer.
- Perfect light quality
- Instant-on
- Fully dimmable
- As efficient as CFLs, if not better
- No Mercury
- The same cost as current dimmable CFLs
I can't wait to get my hands on one to try it out. I recently tried one of the dimmable CFLs in my office, only to be sorely disappointed because it only was able to dim about 10%... still leaving me with 90% of the light. Hopefully, these new bulbs will be just what I need for spotlight replacements.
