I am wanting to make a ceiling light cover that looks similar to the light linked below. I think I can handle the construction part but I am having a hard time finding a light source that fits my criteria. I also wouldn't mind it being an affordable option.

I am looking for LED lights I can dim and put out around 8000 lumens. This is intended for my kitchen and the area being lit is approximately 10'x14' with 8' ceilings. The dimming function is so I can have a bit too much light in case I have situations in cooking where I need a lot of light but for the majority of the time kept at ~80% illumination. There are already 2 fixtures on the ceiling that are the standard ugly low profile t8 fluorescents. To replace those I would ideally get an LED light source with a CRI of 90 or more. I am thinking around 3500k or 4000k for the color temperature. I can do 2 or 3 of the LED fixtures to equal the 8000 lumens or so.
If I can't find a premade light source how difficult would it be to DIY one? I am interested in the strip light because it would provide a more even illumination of the fixture I will build. I also need to keep the low profile part since I only have 8' ceilings.
I don't want to do recessed troffers or cans or anything where I have to cut into the ceiling more than is already cut.
Suggestions?
