That light seems to be for a specific case of wanting a UL listing or something that probably isn't needed in a home garage: "The fixtures allow installers to avoid bypassing the ballast and adopt the energy-saving benefits of LED technology while keeping the product UL listing intact."

I have had better luck with native LED light strips than the CFL tube replacements. Costco has the LED tubes cheap and they work as a retrofit but I have been happier with a LED strip lights that I got from amazon.

I got these to replace my old fluorescents that had buzzing ballasts I probably could have bypassed the ballast, etc but it was time for something new lightweight, etc:
