Why not? LEDs would be perfect for this size of tank as the cost savings in bulb replacements would be huge.

I think (as your awesome friend) that some day you should build me DYI LED lights for my 80g and my 230g. I figure it would give you something to enjoy doing in your spare time

You have tons of it, you even posted pics of you lazing around in your tank, claiming to be cleaning it, but I think you were taking a nap!!
