Ultra Fast Interior Space Lighting Options (or UFISLO for short)

The scenario:

Client needs multiple spaces (between 20 x 20 to 80 x 80) modelled, lit, and populated with misc objects within a couple of hours. Not really any time to spend arranging realistic area lights or fixtures. What do you do for lighting?

Currently I'm slapping a single giant area light at ceiling height but am wondering if there's a slightly less crap route.

if you need to populate with alot of objects download some things from the sketchup Warehouse. You could get entire rooms and easy to download free. I would just try to purge materials. before importing or it will get messy.
