Looking for indoor lighting advice

I’ve done a lot of photography (technically made a living with it for many years), but not much in the way of artificial lighting. I’m going to have to start photographing some items on a regular basis. I’ll save all the boring details… They’re basically thin tubes about 6 feet long. They need to be shot vertically, and I need to be able to put a scenic background behind them in processing. This could be done outside, but traveling to a location is a pain. Inside would be much easier. Problem is, we only have a standard height room, that gives maybe 15 feet of horizontal space. I'm not sure that's enough space to pull back.So I wanted to see what people think, before I waste a bunch of time and money, just to find out it won't work this way. The less money we have to spend on equipment, the better. I don't think we have enough natural light to do it that way. There would have to be some lighting purchased. Any recommendations on that are welcome. via /r/photography http://bit.ly/2FYQudV
