Vu1 Light Bulb Delayed

Vu1 Light Bulb Delayed

In my recent New York Times story about a new light bulb technology that hopes to go head-to-head with compact fluorescent and LED lamps, I mentioned that the lamp, developed by the Vu1 Corporation, was scheduled to ship two weeks ago. The lamp did not ship, but the company issued a press release on Thursday stating that the lamps would begin shipping on April 13. The company also said that it had increased the lamp’s effective life to 11,000 hours from 10,000.With the LED tube prices gradually drop, traditional LED lighting supplier will inevitably be gradually replaced by Led Tube. he believes that "the light pipe, no doubt, led the most promising market."
Vu1’s lamp is based on technology similar to that used to illuminate the cathode-ray tubes found in picture tube TVs: A stream of electrons strikes phosphors coated on glass, which then illuminate. The company believes that its lamp’s long life (about 10 times as long as a traditional incandescent lamp,In recent years, the tube was quickly Led light in the public eye, the space seemed huge market for a lot of companies have increased investment to share more market share. LED tube in the investment boom, until it reaches 80 percent of its original brightness), lower cost than LED lamps, low energy consumption and higher-quality light than that created from compact fluorescents will create an opening for its product.

This is not the first time the lamps have been delayed. The company, which trades publicly under the symbol VUOC.OB, originally expected to be in production by the end of 2009.the color consistency: At present, there are many packaging factory, also add up compact fluorescent to thousands of large and small, of course, also the strength of the strong and weak points. It eventually moved the date to March 23, and then to some time in the week of the 23rd. Its latest delay was caused, the company said, by a faulty chipset it had discovered, which was causing a small number of lamps to burn out prematurely.

That was the case with one of two preproduction lamps I tested.Rolled copper is obtained by squeezing led spotlight the copper foil, which is characterized by: a good degree of resistance to bending, but weaker than the electrical conductivity of copper is mainly used for clamshell camera phone and the like. From the exterior view, copper red, yellow copper rolling The first died in one hour, while the second continues to burn after several months, although the lamp does make a sizzling noise when it’s first turned on.

Assuming the company meets its technological challenges, its success is not guaranteed. As I noted in my story in March, some manufacturers believe that they can get the price of an LED lamp,sub-package and silicone resin package. Resin package prices cheaper, because the thermal performance dsttマジコン a bit weak, others are the same. Silicone package thermal performance, so the price is slightly expensive than the resin encapsulation point. which can last up to 25,000 hours, down to $5 in about two years.

Even before that happens, at least one company is trying to address the shortcomings of compact fluorescents and standard incandescent lamps in creative ways. GE Lighting — along with Osram Sylvania and Philips, one of lighting’s “big three” companies — announced Friday that it would market what it calls a hybrid lamp: a halogen and compact fluorescent light source, with both elements packaged in the shape of a standard incandescent lamp.

The idea is that the halogen part of the lamp lights immediately, and then turns off once the compact fluorescent lamp has brightened to a sufficient level.
