> how can they be more efficient than cfls
They are not more efficient than CFLs. It is interesting that you think they are - I guess the marketing is working.
Now, you might come across some LEDs that on the surface appear to be more efficient, but actually they are misleading you. Those efficient LEDs have worse color accuracy than CFLs, so you are not comparing equivalent products.
LEDs do have room to improve, so they may get more efficient than CFLs, but they are not there yet.
