Corridor Crew cover this in one of their VFX breakdowns where I can't remember the film but it was supposed to be filmed on a rapidly rotating platfom.
There were a large number of lights around it and each one was blinked on for an instant while the camera shot at an insanely high frame rate - something like 288 frames per second with twelve lights.
This meant that after the fact you could pick any one of the twelve frames for that 1/24th of a second, to choose the angle the light was hitting at.
