It's early 20th century technology really. I just wonder if there's any weird health effects of having a room full of little electron guns. I guess as long as it's being defused it's ok.

CFl's are designed to be utilized in applications where they are turned on and left on for some time. They are not designed to be on for a minute or two and that will shorten their life. I don't understand the part about the patents pending but not available for public view. I thought once the filing is made it is a public document. Hopefully this is more than just smoke & mirrors.

"The first ESL prototype is expected to output 40 lumens per watt with a 6,000 hour lifetime." KEY WORDS: THE FIRST ESL PROTOTYPE If this product isn't vapor ware, then it will take some time to mature, and the efficiency will get better over time, just as CFL and LED are maturing. I don't know if any of you have actually tried the dimmable CFL's, but they're currently a complete joke. Uneven dimming, buzzing at any level below 100%, and extremely short lifespans. This is according to reports from just about everyone who has tried them (including mysef), and this is with bulbs from many different manufacturers. If this company's claims are true (I know, a BIG IF), then this product will fill the needs of many like myself who have dimmers installed where appropriate. Since the US congress has decided to OUTLAW normal light bulbs, we need a variety of products and competition in this marketplace. Give these guys a chance! To all those who are breaking out the poo-poo gun on this one, I say take it easy!
