Commercial office lighting requires CRI ≥ 90 across all fixtures — panel lights for general illumination (4000K, 4000lm, 120° beam), adjustable downlights for task zones (4000K, 18W, 30° beam), and track lights for accent walls (3500K, 20W, 40° beam). Compare2Best's cross-category filter (18 CRI 90+ products across 3 categories) enables side-by-side specification matching per IES RP-3-20 and EN 12464-1:2021 standards.
