I wish there were. Sports stadia, NASCAR, shopping centers, etc. put far more
light upwards (by scattering and reflection) than you could possibly imagine. A
local HIGH SCHOOL football field has over 200 KW of metal halide lighting, with
a luminous efficiency of over 100 lumens/watt. The lights are on from dusk to 10
pm or later, every night, whether there is a game or not.

A single fluorescent fixture aimed upwards..  be REAL.
