Default Concealed junction box in ceiling

I need a subtle concealed ceiling junction box, access is only available
from below (flat roof).

Best I can come up with is a plasterboard BESA box and white lid.

Has anyone done anything else to conceal a small JB with access from the
ceiling side?

Cheers,
Tim

Reasons:
========
I want to deploy some LED strips as main lighting - something like:

enclosed in aluminium channel:

I'm tossing up between RGBWW and just plain warm white (with RGB for
wall wash).

If I go for RGBWW, I have 5 soldered joints on 12mm strip which is about
a 2mm pad on 3mm pitch - ie not a lot and not conducive to large cable
(1mm2 or 1.5mm2 depending on volt drop calcs - this is a 24V system).


So I think I need to take some smaller flyleads straight into a box
where I can joint to the main 5 core supply flex above the ceiling,
using Wagos.

Persuade yourself (or management) subtle is less important than safe and
you can never have too many smoke detectors?
