The production studio I worked with last year used 3200K balanced florescent tubes for everything. Didn't see a real tungsten light anywhere. The lights ran much cooler. I'm pretty sure that even small studio photographic lighting will be going that route eventually. I don't think it's the best idea, but it is what will happen.
The problem with florescent lights is flicker, and you need to keep shutter speeds quite slow ensure that it isn't a problem. I think you are pushing your luck shooting faster than 1/30 second with fluorescents, in Europe, where the AC cycles at 50 hz rather than 60hz, I'm guessing that shooting faster than 1/25second is asking for trouble.
