On a recent trip to the hardware store I stumbled across a cheap RGB lamp with a diffuser plastic that did a very good job. I got it and immediately gutted it to replace the innards with 4 strips of addressable LEDs.

Donor lamp case with new LEDs inside. Original PCB below

The updated look does not disappoint
