After three hours of research, I have finally found something. There are now some with permanently installed LEDs. If they last as long as promised, then they will outlive me during the expected operating time. Let's see.

Are you going to reveal the secret of the winner of the 3-hour marathon?

Sure. Up-Downlight "Gemini" by Eco-Light, 22 cm width, anthracite, 20 W, approx. 1,200 lm.

4000K would be too cold for me, 1200lm from 20W too inefficient. But it is really a pain to find the right LED lamp. Too many parameters that need to fit.

For us, the parameters fit, 4000 K is not that bright at all, our spots in the covered entrance area also have 4000 K. 20 W is really not little, but the lamps are only supposed to be on when we are sitting outside on one of the terraces. Considering the expected operating hours, I don't care about that. Then I also have to weigh the price. I will report on how they are.

4000K can be arbitrarily bright or dim, because that is the color temperature and not the amount or intensity.

20W can be little or a lot, because that does not describe what comes out, but what is consumed.

Of course, these can be exactly the right lamps for you!

For seekers as a mini tip for reading the relevant values

    [*]Color temperature - unit Kelvin - High value >4000 similar to midday sun (towards blue) Low value <3000 similar to evening sun (towards orange)
    [*]Color rendering accuracy - unit CRI - CRI>90 is considered relatively color-accurate.
    [*]Amount of light - unit lumen - amount of emitted light. This is not brightness.
    [*]Light intensity - unit candela or lux - intensity of the light
    [*]Beam angle - if relevant in degrees - determines intensity of the light in relation to the amount of light

Example: You have 2 LED spots mounted in a room ceiling. Both have the same amount of light - let’s say 1000 lumens. One distributes the light at a 45-degree angle, the other at a 25-degree angle. On the floor, you now have two differently sized light circles. The larger circle is noticeably dimmer than the smaller circle. Same amount of light differently focused produces different light intensity (brightness).

By the way, the efficiency of LEDs (amount of light per watt) decreases in principle with decreasing color temperature and increasing CRI. However, this does not play a significant role in household power consumption.
