We often shoot in the studio using flourescents - using an older Olympus e10 dslr with a 4000k WB preset (no fill or flash) at 80iso.

A little tweaking in post-edit and its almost impossible to tell its flourescent doing the job.

We've also done some experimentation with small LEDs, longer exposures. They tend to shoot very blue (no matter what white balance you set) and are difficult to compensate - but the overall sterile effect for our type of content works well.

Someone above mentioned using flashlights - and I have to agree. We've used maglites and a variety of different intensity flashlights over the years for lightpainting...and had great results. With the longer exposures a lot relies on the model's ability to freeze and remain motionless during the shot, though.
