Hi Ryan;
You really want to think this one out before you remove the flocking on your ceiling.  Once removed, you can't put it back if the lights don't work out in the long run.  I am familiar with those Puck lights.  I use them in my laundry room on an overhang above the washer/dryer instead of running an AC line and lights.  They are handy, but have poor light output and dispersement.  12 V power is available from the halogen light below the condiment tray, and it's easy to run wires to clamp lights to attach to your framework, or some more permanent attachment.  There are lots of options.  Some work and planning involved, but you will be much more satisfied and proud with your work.

I have not but was hoping for something less permanent. However, I guess
the 3m tape would probably mess with the flock as well so...
