I really don't like the type of light fluorescent bulbs put out and have been looking for an alternative that I could install myself. I use LED bulbs in other types of lighting and appreciate the soft even light they  put out. I decided to change out the existing fluorescent fixtures in my garage with the Lithonia LED surface mount fixture and I'm really glad I did. It was easy to install and the light it puts out is much brighter, but easier on my eyes. This has been a great decision and I'm going to start replacing all my fluorescent fixtures with the Lithonia line of lighting products.
