Well a lot of work we do is in racks in a data center.  Dark in parts 
and then walk out into the office and you really can't tell if the light 
is on.
The office is really well lit, with special high voltage color balanced 
dual output level fluorescents that are only on the low level.  They can 
be REALLY bright on high. The whole office area has chroma blue walls 
and lighting to be a makeshift stage.
