A specific use case would be recessed ceiling lights, which are not uncommon in this nominal wattage.



Yes that could be. Most recessed lights I've seen recently are spotlights, although that could be a function of where I am looking.

IMO, interior designers and light manufacturers need to work together to make attractive energy-efficient lighting solutions. For example, recessed halogen-based spotlights are a nightmare for LEDs - there's nowhere for the heat to go. Even if you get an LED bulb from aliexpress, it won't last long because of the lack of proper heatsinking. Meanwhile there's plenty of surface area that could be utilized for heatsinking if the fixture is designed for LEDs from the ground up.
