I would rather buy a incandescent light (even if I have to pay 3x or 5x) which is not as bright as the LED (forty watts or possibly even lower, should be sufficient; I have a few 40W incandescent light and they are good enough), and then not turn it on in the day time when it is light outside.

(Unfortunately, other people where I live like to turn on the light even in the day time and that bothers me.)

You can buy an E27 halogen bulb around 50 watts (which would be around 100W incandescent) and pair it with a universal dimmer.

It'd provide you nice warm light, and will allow to flood the space with bright light if the need arises. Neither of them are expensive. Halogen bulbs are also CRI100, so their color rendering is not different from incandescent bulbs.

Turning on lights when you have ample sun is not a wise choice, I agree.
