LED vs CFL -- Which Light Bulb is More Efficient? | CleanTechnica
The more recent LEDs are getting better at the lumens/watt efficiency, but overall, there is not a substantial difference between the two.
The BIG difference is bulb life length with many LEDs asserting 40,000 - 50,000 total hours. I think the $0.86 cost for a CFL is a misprint.

That's about what I pay for bulbs at a reasonable price. On sale they're closer to ~$.25 to $.50 each. On the flip side, I haven't paid nearly as much for the LED bulbs I've purchased either (~$3-$20 per bulb depending on the specifics).
