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?

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.


100mmx100mm access panel?

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