When calculating the voltage drop for factory lighting, does it necessary to take into account the capacitive and inductive reactance of the wiring?

When calculating the voltage drop for factory lighting, does it necessary to take into account the capacitive and inductive reactance of the wiring? Or does it only matter to consider the resistance of the circuit, while capacitive and inductive reactances can be ignored? Thank you
The wiring for lighting is usually 2.5 square millimeters in cross-section, and its inductive reactance can be ignored compared to its resistance.
Okay, thank you. Based on your experience, when should one consider it?
I don’t rely on experience; the resistance and reactance of wires can be found in manuals
