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

I'm after a small, preferably rectangular, surface mounting LED panel
to provide some light in the corner of a room. It will be mounted on
a sloping ceiling (not terribly relevant really).

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).

I saw or rather felt, on of the fatter ones installed which had coving glued
around it to make it almost a feature. The cable was also hidden in the
coving where it went to the hole. Probably not strictly that legal but...

Not sure how small you need the light to be. How about under (kitchen) cabinet lighting? This one from Ikea https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/stroeml...hite-90333995/ is 20x7cm and 6mm thick.

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.

Yes! That's just the sort of thing, thank you. It wouldn't show up
as a panel of course which is why I haven't found anything like that.

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

I have these in the kitchen and I'm very pleased with them. Reasonably warm colour as well (i.e. not the cold hard white you can sometimes get with LEDs). Dimmable as well remotely with the right power adapter.
