...Or efficiency.

Reports from initial testing indicate LEDs are not as efficient as
CFLs.

This comes with an explanation. White for white. LEDs colours have to
be combined to create white light and the lumens are not accumulative,
whereas CFLs produce white light natively and require no filtering,
reducing output.

Colour vs colour. LEDs produce coloured light singly and are extremely
efficient, compared to other light sources, having 60-95% of their
natural lumen density filtered out to produce the colour.
