Ditto. 2x add-on led bars would be my first go-to. The ali-express bars are popular. Would need to DIY a bracket.

I meant something like this, which is the Reef-Brite version. It’s a matter of opinion whether that is more cluttered versus adding two additional puck fixtures.

I understand your meaning though. It appears you hang the lights. Have you considered a floating canopy?

yea im thinking about floating canopy as well.. reef brite is really good .. no question for sure... but the design is what matters for me ... thats why i tought about kessil... so can hanging and make a design like a spotlights ... and not be a bulk like those =/ ...
