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). -- Chris Green · |

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.

It wouldn't show up as a panel of course which is why I haven't found anything like that. -- Chris Green · |

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. |
