there are none. they are all usually missing much of the color spectum.

you can get color corrected fluorescent lamps but the best is to stick to halogen strobes and lighting .

The best bet would be to pick the best lighting you want for your house, and have your camera's white balance adapt to a grey card. And if you have a camera with a decent live-view or an electronic view finder, you could manually adjust the white balance without a grey card and save it as a custom WB for those occasions.
