    LED Lighting Compared to T-5 lights

    I'm confused about LED lights. Can they be used for planted tanks? Can someone give me an easy way to compare the two? I want to light a 65 gal planted tank with the equivalent LED light compared to another tank t-5 lights which has approx 60- 75 watts. Thanks
