LED bulbs may be coming down in price, but they’re still relatively expensive. So many people are looking for alternatives. Enter the ESL, or, Electron Stimulated Luminescence.
The new bulbs, created by Vu1 Corporation, are 70 percent more efficient than traditional incandescents and last up to five times as long. They’re also completely dimmable and mercury free. The ESL technology uses “accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of the bulb ‘glow.'” The price range will also be comparable to that of CFL bulbs, at around $20 per bulb. Unfortunately we don’t currently know when the ESLs will be hitting the market.
