Most of the CFL's that I see are around 40 to 45 lumins per watt, I've seen some LEDs that are in that same range but I tend to get LEDs that are 70 lumins per watt or so.
My fridge light right now is a .9 watt LED made my Feit, it has a 3 sided pyramid with surface mounted LEDs on each side, the same LED is over my desk as a task light, point it at the ceiling and it will light up the whole room well enough to read by, talked my brother in to getting a few of them for his house to use as a "night light", less then a watt and you can see everything in the room, no CFL is going to do that.
