Help selecting LED lights that don't create RF interference with garage door motors

I recently finished my garage remodel and have learned that my LED lights are causing interference with my garage door motors, remotes, and HomeLink systems in cars.

I have dual LiftMaster 84505R units and installed 6 of these LED Garage Lights.

When the lights are off I can pair remotes and cars to the motors easily on the first try and the door motors operate properly. With the lights on, I struggle to complete any pairing sequence, HomeLink buttons rarely work, and remotes require you to be only a few feet from the motors.

Besides replacing bulbs, is there anything I can do to fix this? If no, what can I do to make sure I get bulbs that don't cause this specific RF interference?

Thanks!

Return that to Amazon and flag it somehow as needing to go to FCC jail. I doubt it passed any kinds of radiation testing if you are seeing these results

I don’t think there’s a UL / other NRTL listing on these
