Can I compensate low light area with cfls?

Currently running a led with a light area2.5’x2.5’. Currently one of my plants is slightly out of the range with by a single branch will 4 30w cfls be enough to cover the 7”x7” area that isn’t in the light area of the led?

I swear by the cheap "80w" (20w) actual LED bars off eBay. They are a combination of white (6500k), warm white (3000-3500k) and red (630nm) LEDs, and are great for coverage extension. Cheap too, but good build quality considering.

How cheap is cheap, I've got a 600w mh(dimmed to 250w) hanging in my bathroom for these seeds I just germed. Tents in flower rn and i want these ready to flip by harvest.
 
those are some big dick cfls bro youl be fine. if you get those chinese grow light leds and put them too close you will burn the plant. but cfls can be right up to the plant 1cm away even (from what ive read)

I Second this hard core.

T5 Grow Lights Full Spectrum LED Plant Light Tube with 24 LEDs 5PCS Growth Light Bar Strip for Indoors Plant Veg Flower 11.8 Inch

is what I use.
When was vegging my mother plants right before flower and didn't have enough space I built a tent put of plastic. and hung my t5s all around my 8 bulb on one side and the LEDs and a 2 bulb t5 all around the other.

The led t5s are better for clones in the summer. 8 bulb t5 for winter. I think the LEDs are also better for supplemental lighting if it's already hot, or when ever I would use them
