In this paper, considering $L$ being a completely distributive lattice, we first introduce the concept of $L$-fuzzy ideal degrees in an effect algebra $E$, in symbol $\mathfrak{D}_{ei}$. Further, we characterize $L$-fuzzy ideal degrees by cut sets. Then it is shown that an $L$-fuzzy subset $A$ in $E$ is an $L$-fuzzy ideal if and only if $\mathfrak{D}_{ei}(A)=\top,$ which can be seen as a generalization of fuzzy ideals. Later, we discuss the relations between $L$-fuzzy ideals and cut sets ($L_{\beta}$-nested sets and $L_{\alpha}$-nested sets). Finally, we obtain that the $L$-fuzzy ideal degree is an $(L,L)$-fuzzy convexity. The morphism between two effect algebras is an $(L,L)$-fuzzy convexity-preserving mapping.
