NO. Fluorescent lights and LEDs are NOT the same thing, other than the fact that they both produce light.
A fluorescent light consists of a glass tube or envelope with a powder [phosphor] coating on the inside of the glass which when "excited" by electrical energy created by current running through a gas, also inside the envelope, releases some of that energy in the form of light.
An LED on the other hand is a solid state device with no tube, phosphors, or gas. It also converts electrical energy to light but by the interaction of two dissimilar electrically conductive compounds inside of a transparent or translucent plastic body.
