I got 4 of these:

and that was mostly enough light for a 22x32 garage. I added these over the work bench:

An 8 pack of those double Sunco's would probably be overkill.

I have 4 of those Sunco's in my garage. I paid around $30-40 each time. I had the electrician replace 2x 8 foot fluorescent lights which weren't bright enough and flickered. It's a perfect amount of light for my slightly over sized double garage. 8 of those Fluorescent lights would definitely be blinding. In theory you could kinda DIY these. They are corded lights so as long as you have an outlet on your garage ceiling, you can install them yourself.

I bought those Sunco's to also replace in the ceiling fluorescent lights in my basement. It was the 8 foot fluorescent lights again, so I couldn't just buy a tube replacement and bypass the ballast. I think they work far better than the old fluorescent lights.

I have these installed at my parents place. Two of them work quite well. About equal to half of the light in my garage. I haven't see anything that concerns me yet. I guess it's safer to install these in a detached garage if one is truly paranoid, but they do work quite well.
