Which Lights Are Best for an Office or Shop?
Quick answer

LED panel lights sit flush in a ceiling grid or are surface-mounted and give even light across an office. LED tubes replace fluorescent tubes in shops, warehouses and workshops. Choose the brightness and colour temperature to match the work (neutral or cool white for offices and shops), the right size for the ceiling grid or fitting, and check whether the driver needs a separate power supply.
