Instead of expensive diffuser filters try using something you have like shiny
baking pans, or aluminum foil smoothed out over a flat surface, like a book.
Then bounce the swing arm lamp light off of those. It will certainly cut the

maybe more expensive is a cheap mirror and hairspray or clear spray paint on
it. (an old theatre trick) Don't muck up a good mirror though.
