„The Hungarian Parliament Building, seat of the National Assembly, is
one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings and among the city's
most popular tourist destinations. Illumination based on GE's CMH
lamps, with their superb white light and excellent colour
maintenance, has meant that the building now looks as impressive at
night as it does during the day.”
