If you are asking that if you spent 2 hours under fluorescent lights and then went outside for 2 hours, then no - it would not counter the effects.

What is believed to cause fluorescent lights to be a migraine trigger is the imperceptible flickering and humming that occurs while they are on. It is doubtful that exposure to natural light would interfere with that, even if it was pouring through a window into the room with the fluorescent lights.

However, it is also believed that fluorescent lights alter the way our light perceives color. Natural light in the same room would interfere with that slightly.

Also that some people are triggered not just due to fluorescent lights, but fluorescent lights causing a glare on the computer screen in front of them, which can also refocus the flicker so that your eyes are more exposed to it. Ways to avoid this problem are flatscreen monitors, glare protection screens which fit over a monitor, and - if possible - altering the room so that an incandescent light is on the desk, next to or behind the computer monitor, so that the light isn't coming from above and behind you to be reflected in the monitor.

How is fluorescent different from natural light?

Fluorescent light is a type of artificial light created by passing an electrical current through mercury vapor to produce ultraviolet light, which then excites a phosphor coating on the bulb to emit visible light. Natural light, on the other hand, comes from the sun and contains a full spectrum of colors.
