What's the Kelvin rating on the CFL? You want it to be in the daylight range, from about 5,000K-6,500K or so. They don't look bad at all to me. :)

6500 I have one of them and a 2700 on each plant they seem perkier today

Just didn't see the results I was wanting LEDs shine the light straight forward while the CFL's spread the light around that's why I changed its alot brighter now. I have 200 watts to each plant now

Leds shining the light straight forward is actually a good thing as there's little light lost, you just need to keep them at the right distance. But then again depends on what leds you've been using so far. Keep in mind cfls have little to no penetration so you want them as close as possible but not burning the plants.

I'm using splitters so when I had LEDs in they didn't point down they pointed sideways BC I had a blue red led and a white led
