I have 1 switch, that controls light of ceiling fan and fan is controlled by remote control.
However, I find the room quite dark, thus I want to add several led pot light. I know this is possible.
During summer season room get quite warm, thus at night, I want to use the fan and turn all the light off,
Is this possible without running a new electrical line?

I did something like this a few years ago, except I had no ceiling light or fan. I ran a 14/3 up from the wall switch that only powered the outlets. Since I was also adding cans, I used the 6“ holes I drilled as access to run the wires, both up the wall and between joists.
I also cut out the original junction box for the wall switch and added an old construction box, having the box removed allowed me access to drill into the top plate. Using rare earth magnets tied to a string, I was able to stick the magnet to the bit and then pull the string back. Then use the string to pull the wire.
