Is it possible to make an comming home automation script that turn on all 2 lights when the sun is set. But by 18:30 at night the automation should not run. Because the sun sets after 18:30 i the summer time and before in the winter I can´t figured out how this should be made?

If I understand what you're asking, what about something like this?
metadata:
name: Coming home lighting
description: Turn on 2 lights when someone arrives home after sunset but before 18:30
automations:
- starters:
type: home.state.HomePresence
state: homePresenceMode
is: HOME
condition:
type: time.between
before: 18:30
after: sunset
actions:
type: device.command.OnOff
on: true
devices:
- Light 1 - Home
- Light 2 - Home

In that case, you can try to do an "AND" conditional with another set of times to make sure it falls between a standard range. Maybe something like this where you can change the second time conditions to fit your needs?

Script Editor FTW , along with a very similar script to what you want to do. If this doesn't make sense just let me know.
metadata:
name: Scheduled lighting
description: Turn on the lights at sunset, dim them at 10pm and turn them off at midnight.
automations:
# At sunset
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: SUNSET
actions:
# Adjusting brightness will automatically turn on the lights.
# No need to add a separate OnOff command.
- type: device.command.BrightnessAbsolute
devices:
- Christmas lights - Living Room
brightness: 100
# At 10 PM
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: 22:00
actions:
- type: device.command.BrightnessAbsolute
devices:
- Christmas lights - Living Room
brightness: 50
# At midnight
- starters:
- type: time.schedule
at: 00:00
actions:
- type: device.command.OnOff
devices: Christmas lights - Living Room
on: false

No, this does not make sense to my question.

Yes, that would work if the sun did´nt set after 18:30 in the summer time. So it will turn on the light after 18:30 in the summer time.
It would work if it was possable to add a second condition between sunset and sunrise.
Is it possable to do that?

That was exactly what I tried to do but I got an error when I had 2 conditions. But now when I tried this again there was no errors. So this made the trick.
Thank you for your help!

Just a thought for future, if you have something with a lux sensor, you can create the automation to turn on the lights is the level is too low. This works irrespective of time of day like if it is really stormy.

So yesterday when we got home the lights turned on when the sun was still upp. I have not made any changes and another routine with only sunset to sunrise and no "AND" command still works.
My goal is to turn the lights on after sunset but not if the time is 18:30 or later.
