Types of LED Office Lighting Fixtures

Unlike other commercial settings, offices lend themselves to more creative lighting solutions. Much of this will be based on the type of office environment you're illuminating. An open office plan, for example, will require a layout to ensure coverage across the entire room.

If you're looking for the best office lights for smaller rooms, you'll want to have more flexibility with the light fixtures and their placement. Some small offices may forego overhead lighting for desk lamps or wall-mounted fixtures. Below are some different types of LED office lighting fixtures you can choose.

Flat Panel LED Lighting for Offices

Our discussion of the best lights for an office begins with the most common type of workplace lighting. LED flat panel lights produce even illumination that takes the strain off workers' eyesight. Flat panels are usually found in drop ceiling grids, but they can also be surface-mounted or hung – like an office pendant light – from a standard ceiling. Aside from the benefits all LED lights enjoy (high energy efficiency, long life, etc.), flat panels have a lower profile than old-style troffer lights – so these flush-mounted flat panel fixtures will work well even if you have limited ceiling space.

LED Flat Panel Light

You can't go wrong with WareLight™ LED flat panel lighting for offices. This high-performance lighting is edge-lit to promote uniform light distributions with no flickering, hotspots or glare. The fixture fits in a drop ceiling grid, or it can be surface-mounted or suspended. Whether you're replacing old fluorescent fixtures or starting fresh with new construction, this flat panel LED light fixture is a winner. LED flat panels come in three sizes: 1'x4', 2'x2' and 2'x4'.

Architectural Lighting & Linear Suspended Office Lights

There is a wide range of suspended office light fixtures to choose from. Along with linear LEDs, other suspended office lighting includes circular, square and criss-cross architectural pendant lights. Whatever type of hanging lights for the office you choose, they can be mounted to the ceiling, recessed or hung from cables or chains. Choosing the best office lighting for your workspace depends in part on the atmosphere you're trying to create.

Linear LED Lighting

Combining the ease of installation with excellent lighting diffusion, LED linear suspended office lights have become popular for illuminating business spaces. You can install these sleek light fixtures just about anywhere, and the light spread is nicely diffused, creating a lovely effect while providing a powerful output. LED linear lights typically come in lengths of 4', 6' and 8' and are available in the brightness you desire.

Office Recessed Lighting Fixtures

If you want your fixtures to be tucked away, office recessed lighting is the way to go. This type of fixture is installed at evenly spaced intervals in holes in the ceiling. Office recessed lighting creates an ambient light pattern that concentrates the light downward, mimicking the effect of floodlights or spotlights. Because an exposed ceiling offers the best way to install this type of lighting, recessed light fixtures are a better option for new construction rather than replacements for outdated fixtures.

LED Recessed Lighting

Recessed LED light fixtures are available in sizes from 3 inches to 8 inches. Before purchasing your office recessed lighting, you'll need to know if it's going to come in contact with insulation. If so, look for recessed lights rated IC. For non-insulated ceilings, you can use a NON IC version. You may decide to retrofit your old recessed lighting fixtures, in which case, you'll want to shop for LED recessed retrofits.

The Best Color for Commercial Office Lighting

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) is measured in the degrees of Kelvin and tells you the color of your white LED bulbs. A warm (yellowish) light is about 1700K. Neutral white bulbs are about 4000K. Cool white bulbs are 5000K or more. For commercial office lighting, your best bet is a bulb that's between 3500 and 5500 Kelvin. Anything less could make workers sleepy; anything more is too blue and may cause workers to be anxious and irritable.
