Do you know if it is possible to import external private keys into LND?
So you want to sweep from other wallet? Maybe is possible if you import your LND wallet into Sparrow, and from there find the way to sweep some privkey.
Is this not recommended for some reason?
I would not do it. Is useless anyways.
Is there a way to close a channel to an external address in LND?
No, as far I know, the closing channel tx is linked to your nodeID keys.
But what is possible is to open a channel with a tx from another wallet, out of your LND node.
I'm trying to save some sats by doing as few transactions as possible.
So why not use LN channels?

What I do now is sending funds from cold wallet to LND and then I open a channel with a second onchain transaction. And I do the same on the way back. I'd love to just open a channel directly with the uxto controlled by the cold wallet instead.
I'll try with Sparrow. Thanks

You can use BOS or GUI BOS by Nitesh to open channels from your cold wallet. https://github.com/niteshbalusu11/lndboss
I personally do not like that. I like to use the 3 levels stash: hodl, cache (nodes), LN spending. But I understand you "pain" that you want to avoid that intermediary transfer from cold wallet to node wallet and then open a LN channel.
