Here are a couple of pop music videos which start with the mass switch on of fluorescent lights!

Most Realistic
Not quite so Realistic - the lights look as though they are rapid/instant start but there is the distinct sound of starters 'pinging'.....

I'll give you one better. How about a whole song about fluorescent lights. Features a lot of fixture closeups and fixture related lyrics.

Message in a Bottle by the Police has a part where the band is in a small room and ther is a T12 fitting in the ceiling, presumably a preheat.

Not just videos but album covers too... Check this one out!
