I think we have image-based lighting now. Just load up any panorama as a
background
and use SKYLIGHT in the renderer. It's not the full-range like HDRI, but it is
often very
realistic. Flourescent lighting usually isn't full-spectrum anyway.
Just as a test I googled for images of "fluorescent lighting" and grabbed a
small
stockphoto of an office. I loaded it up in the Scene Wizard's cornet image (one
of the HDRI
presets) as the background and rendered. It still looked realistic, even though
the
spectrum in the photo looks pretty thin.
Here's the photo I tried:

It's not even a panorama so the reflections aren't right but you could try
tiling the
background seemlessly to smooth that out...
