Default Inexpensive replacement for these garage flourescent lights?

Everyone is touting LEDs but IME they are not ready for prime time.

About a year ago, I bought three circular LEDs for our bathrooms. Within 4
months, 2 of the 3 were flickering so badly they were unuseable. They were
replaced with incandescent using fixtures, bye-bye flicker. Now the third
is flickering and it too will be replaced.


Perhaps the circular bulbs are not ready, but the regular screw in have
been for a long time. So far I have about a dozen of them, the oldest
about 3 years. They are getting cheaper too.
