What is the best LED ceiling light for offices?

For open-plan offices: 600×600mm LED panel lights (40W, UGR<19, CRI≥80) are the most popular and cost-effective at $12-25 FOB. For premium offices/boardrooms: linear suspended fixtures (1200mm, direct/indirect, tunable white 2700-6500K) at $35-80. For T-bar ceiling retrofit: 2×2 or 2×4 LED troffers at $18-40. European offices increasingly specify UGR<16 and tunable white for WELL certification — adding 30-50% to fixture cost.
