Under the manufacturing agreement, Huayi will have exclusivity for the first two years and over the full term will supply the company with 250 million units (bulbs), commencing 1 January 2012.

Lighting manufacturer Huayi will use its manufacturing facilities to begin production of Vu1’s Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) bulb in the fourth quarter of this year with initial shipments scheduled for 1 January 2012.

Vu1’s ESL lighting technology uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of its bulbs glow thus providing a natural light quality.

Huayi will supply Vu1 with bulbs of various sizes, including R30, R40, PAR38, G25 and A19.
