You can get a 12 pack of 23w 2700k cfl's at Home Depot for 17.99
I doubt CFL is still worth it.
Here a philips 13w Bulb is 4.68 euros. (USA prob cheaper)
About twice as efficient as the CFL, directional when the diffuser is removed.
12 of those costs 56 euros. (It's probably cheaper in the US)

Electricity cost is at least 18 cent per kwh here.
Operating 12 hours a day the CFLs will create an 8 euros higher bill every month.

So after 5 months the LEDs have already earned themselves back.

Only pain in the ass is removing the bulb, but it isn't needed though it does make it an even better light.
And some people have a CFL build that puts the lights sideways, which is beneficial for CFL but not for LED, and since LEDs (exception those filament bulbs) are directional it's best have the bulb facing the plant directly.
But new sockets aren't expensive, and LED bulbs do pay themselves back.

Ill post how it goes. My seedlings new growth is light green like a lime green under this light. It might not be strong enough. We'll see I have it about .5 inches from the light. Leaves almost touching as it puts out hardly any heat.

I took the reflector off and added some 5600k clfs on top. The straight Led were making my plants lime green in the new growth.
