Like others, I simply bought regular clamp on or magnetic lamp holders from Walmart or wherever and put LED replacement bulbs in them. I was replacing the bulbs in the fixture on the 4x6 bandsaw often ... vibration was killing the filaments ... and the LED replacement has solved that problem.
One thing to note is the wattage rating of the fixtures and the bulbs. The fixtures are rated for incandescent bulbs, often 60 or 75 watt's max. This is based on the ability of the base of the fixture to dissipate the heat generated by the incandescent bulb without meltdown. The LED replacement's base does get hot but not nearly as hot as the incandescent with the same light output. I have had 75 watt replacement LED's [12 - 14 watt actual IIRC] in 60 watt fixtures without any issues for a year.
Certainly not trying to start a "soft white - daylight" argument. We'll save the energy for the "China - Taiwan - Old US Iron" discussions.
I prefer the soft white. The daylight was, in my opinion, too much like a "single point of light" source and therefore, in my opinion, very sharp and distracting shadows. This depressed me as I was after the "whiter and brighter" that they offered, but that feature was overshadowed [no pun intended] by the sharp light and dark contrasts.
The good news is that Home Depot will exchange them without any questions so which ever one you get you will eventually [0 to 1 exchange required] be good-to-go.

. I have a std 4' - 2 bulb fluorescent fixture directly above the lathe and also an incandescent lamp on a flex shaft to repo and aim as needed up close.
