In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of completely bounded $Λ_{p}$ sets ($Λ_{p}^{cb}$ for short) for compact, non-abelian groups G. We characterize $Λ_{p}^{cb}$ sets in terms of completely bounded $L^{p}(G)$ multipliers. We prove that when G is an infinite product of special unitary groups of arbitrarily large dimension, there are sets consisting of representations of unbounded degree that are $Λ_{p}$ sets for all p < ∞, but are not $Λ_{p}^{cb}$ for any p ≥ 4. This is done by showing that the space of completely bounded $L^{p}(G)$ multipliers is a proper subset of the space of $L^{p}(G)$ multipliers.
