Default Small, surface mount, LED panels - do they exist?

I want something of the order of 500 lumens, less than 1000 anyway.
All the surface mount panels I can see (from Screwfix, Toolstation
etc.) are much larger and brighter.

Does anyone make small ones or will I have to go recessed (which I'd
rather not as it's more difficult to undo if we don't like it).


Recycle an old laptop/TV lcd screen removing the LCD, reassemble with
the diffuser and possibly change the backlight. The diffuser is the
magic bit.

Trouble is, what usually goes on TV screens and monitors is the backlight.
