Yeah artificial lighting could help keep them healthy. I've not tried this during dormancy, so it might trick them into thinking it's time to grow. I guess if you only leave it on for 3 to 4 hours it probably wouldn't have that affect though.
As long as it's cold and they are far enough away from the light that they don't get heat from the light, it works fine to use a fluorescent on a 4 hour timer.
