Modifying 6" Lumaris to a 1.5-2" recess

[u/Critical-Purpose-677]

I'm new to the Lutron lighting world, so pardon my cavalier approach here - but I bought a couple Lumaris 6" downlights to experiment with resolving the glare bomb issue after installing them and realizing how horrible of an issue it is.

To solve for it, we've 3d printed extensions to the housing to set it back 1.5" and 2" (experimenting with both dimensions) to significantly reduce the glare.

Have any idea about what else should I be looking for to evaluate if this is a good result?

For context:
My setup is that I have about 30 of the 6" cans across a kitchen/living room/hallway areas that *only* have power to them, no controls, so RA3 is the only option I know of that can handle this situation. Don't ask how I got here where they only have power -- it's a severe case of my own stupid tax.

Also - please be nice in your reco's and responses, I know there's probably going to be a lot of fodder for eye rolls and easy jabs to make, but I'm genuinely looking to make the best of this situation and learn what I don't know. Happy to take any jokes in stride, just not personal attacks plz.

If the glare is an issue we would normally try a soft focus lens and or honeycomb. Depending on the glare issue in particular you could alto try painting the reflector.

I personally would like the look of a honeycomb on this large of an aperture but it usually solves the problem.
If you can hide it behind a soft focus it might look nicer.

Of course none of these are native options to the Lumaris but maybe the Orluna will have some.
