What I did was to buy one of the fixtures I was interested in from Home Depot and try everything I could think of to determine its RFI potential, including putting it on a long extension cord and sniffing with my portable HF radio.  For $8 or so it seemed like a good investment.  I'm going ahead with installing 8-12 of these in my basement ceiling =- They are Commercial Electric 1005 591 792, and are similarly can-less - in fact the package includes a template for cutting a hole in the ceiling sheet-rock, and the fixture then snaps in place with two retaining clips - pretty neat.

Oh BTW - the company (importer?)  was totally clueless about what's in their fixture - I guessed from the weight that it is at least in part a transformer, but when I asked I got a resounding "huh?"

No direct experience with this one.
So far I am very lucky with the LEDS used in my house.
I only have one floodlight that is kind of noisy, but it is on a motion sensor 
and rarely on.

My suggestion would be to buy them with the caveat to the vendor that you can 
bring it back for any reason.
Or buy one, take it home and check out the RFI it produces.

Big box store brands change so often but it’s unlikely that you will find 
someone with direct experience on a particular device.

Good luck,

Does anyone have experience with this product I found available at Lowes? It 
is a canless LED fixture that looks like what I would like but not a lot of info 
available about certification. This would be for lighting in my shack so they 
definitely would be used while operating.
