Vu1 Corporation (fka VUOC)

[ginchinchili]

Just to catch folks up, I was recently told by Vu1 that the R30 bulb Vu1 will be coming out with later this year has a planned retail price of under $20.00. Fully dimmable, temperature resistant, instant on, can come on at dimmed settings, superior light quality, and NO MERCURY. They are targeting the same price for the 4' ESL tube once it becomes available. They also state that, like LEDs, these prices will come down as materials will be discounted when bought in bulk and the manufacturing capabilities refined and multiplied.
