GMT Lighting supports this initiative and has

The lamps range from compact fluorescent
lamps, dichroic IRC and LED lighting.

the United States of America, commented
on the energy efficient light globes installed
throughout the Langham Hotel in Melbourne.
The Langham Hotel, since 2004 has installed
the Deluxlite Compact Fluorescent light
bulbs throughout the Hotel, that have been
supplied by GMT Lighting.
