Vu1 Corporation Accelerates Plans for U.S. and EU Introduction of its 'A'-type Electron Stimulated Luminescence(TM) Energy-Efficient Light Bulbs

Anticipated launch in mid-2011; direct replacement for most commonly used light bulb in the world

NEW YORK, December 8, 2010 - Vu1 Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VUOC), a developer and manufacturer
of mercury-free, energy-efficient general illumination lighting technology,
today announced it has accelerated the development and launch timetable for
the company's 'A'-type Electron Stimulated Luminescence(TM) (ESL) light
bulbs.

Vu1 anticipates its classic Edisonian 'A'-type, screw-in light bulb will
be launched in European and U.S. markets in mid-2011, ahead of the company's
original rollout plan. Millions of U.S. and European households use the A19
and its European equivalent, the A60; this introduction will position the
company to capitalize on current and pending regulations that will accelerate
the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions.

"In recent months since U/L certification for our R30 bulb, Vu1 has had
productive discussions with a number of potential strategic channel partners,
including national electrical retailers and distributors and 'big box' retail
chains," commented Philip Styles, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"During these discussions, we have also received very significant interest in
Vu1's 'A'-type bulbs, which will be a direct replacement for the common
household 40W and 60W light bulbs used in billions of households globally. As
such, Vu1 has made the strategic decision to accelerate its plans for the
introduction of its 'A'-type bulbs to both the U.S. and EU markets."

Even with better energy efficiency characteristics, consumers have been
reluctant to adopt many of the current 'green' lighting alternatives, which
often require a compromise on light quality, bulb shape or functionality.
Vu1's A19 and A60 bulbs will offer a direct replacement for the traditional
household incandescent with no compromises necessary. The company's ESL
lighting technology uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor and
create light, making the surface of the bulb glow, providing natural light
quality, energy efficiency and a long bulb life of 10,000 hours.
