I've fitted a 300mm x 300mm cool white LED panel in my large(ish)

I've fitted a circular one in my porch (cheapo on eBay) which is only
marginally thicker than plasterboard it's recessed into. I cut off and
extended the low voltage wiring, so the PSU is completely remote in the
garage. The ring of LED tape 'fires' inwards, illuminating the circular
glass plate through the edge, with a clever diffusion pattern and
reflector above to even out the light pattern.

Similar to this ...

Does it give a wider beam pattern than you'd get with the more usual
grid of chips pointing downwards? I want something like that for a
walk-in larder with items on shelves right up to the ceiling. A LED bulb
in a conventional fitting gives good light distribution but doesn't last
long because of the heat.
