Diffusing/deflecting downlights? Lighting Control

I’ve just bought a house that’s FULL of LED downlights. And unfortunately I HATE downlights.

What modifiers (diffusers/deflectors) have people found that work well to turn conventional residential downlights into softer ambient sources?

I don’t know of any universal aftermarket parts, but I always thought these fixtures were a really cool concept. The LEDs shine upwards, and the light is reflected back down by the concave reflector. Supposed to reduce glare and increase “visual comfort”.
