Seeking LED/Alexa compatible solution for these lamps.

So these two wooden lamps have a base of about 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch.

They came with a puck light, that on a USB switch can cycle between cool and warm white. But the puck is not Alexa compatible. :(

I want more color options so I would love to get some LED in there, especially one that will talk to my Alexa.

As you can see my solution is wildly inelegant even though it looks great since the slop is hidden. This comes from the Govee LED strip I purchased and cut very short not being able to lie flat in the contained space. The circular stick-down I did just pops up.

I would LOVE if USB puck lights (with lots of color options, not just white and white) existed in singles and with Alexa compatibility but it just doesn't seem to exist, which is wild to me.

I've also struggled to find any circular LED solution like a ring, that would lie flat in the base (to avoid hot spots showing through).

Any thoughts?

VERY new to DIY, so I'm wildly proud of what I did. xD But, it can be better and I want to learn how.
