I would quite like to have downlighters in our hall but I know that the
ceiling is filled with a mess of pipes and wiring would necessitate a lot
of redecorating which I'd like to avoid.

Given that I don't need directable beams what is the lowest profile fitting
that I could use with good aesthetics and good light quality?

The one I used in my porch is barely thicker than the plasterboard
itself, this type, but not this seller ...

I extended the 12V wiring so the PSU was sited elsewhere, rather than in
the ceiling, the diffuser gives an excellent spread of light.

LED strip light fitted to aluminium heat-sink with 'milk-like' plastic
cover. You would have to fit the controller/PSU in the ceiling.

I have in my hallway something like the 24W version

where the controller/PSU fits inside the fitting - but its 35mm deep

If you can fit the controller/PSU in the ceiling an ultra thin panel LED
light of 300mm x 300mm may cut the depth to 20mm. the panels come in
recessed and surface mount versions.

LED tape, a few mm thick.

They look in interesting for a landing which needs better light but I
was puzzled by dimensions "297 x 250 x 35 mm" for a *circular* fitting.
Are those dimensions for the inner/outer diameters?

larger dimension is the overall diameter of the fitting
smaller dimension is the diameter of the bit that gives the light
