New Light Bulb Technology

There is a new threat to CFL bulbs besides LED. It is call Electron Stimulated Luminescence or ESL for short. It recently got UL Laboratories approval and could be on sale in the US in early 2011. This technology appears to have a lot of benefits.
- No mercury or disposal problems
- Long life
- Dimmer support from standard dimmers
- Cheaper than LED solutions

Have a look at VU1 Corporation's website. I expect to be an early adopter. I hate those CFLs and LEDs are still quite expensive.
