There are several standards and regulations around lighting in general for use in public areas and workspaces. Glare from lighting is one of the main regulations, as excessive glare can cause eyestrain, headaches and migraines and make an uncomfortable space to work in.
UGR (Unified Glare Rating) is used as a measure of glare and calculated by the glare from all visible lamps divided by the background lamination of the room. When it comes to an office environment, a UGR of less than 19 is considered acceptable for best concentration.
LED linear lighting distributes light evenly to help avoid glare, which is another advantage over traditional linear fluorescent lights.
