A new notion of SP-compactness is introduced in L-topological spaces by means of semi-preopen L-sets and their inequality, where L is a complete De Morgan algebra. This new notion does not depend on the structure of basis lattice L and L does not require any distributivity. This new notion implies semicompactness, hence it also implies compactness. This new notion is a good extension and it has many characterizations if L is completely distributive De Morgan algebra.
