I seen some led lights on bigalsonline.com and i am thinking about buying them for my 55 gal. I have 2 65w 50/50 pc on there right now i wanted to ad another type of lighting and i was wondering if anyone has tried these.I had 4 65w 50/50 but one of the ballist burnt up so i was either going to go with a t5 or a led lighting.they sound great but i could not find much input on them. your input would be appreciated thank you.

I'd stick with the fluorescent for now.  If I upgraded on a 55 gal I'd get halides.  Many 48" fixtures available.

I wouldn't use anything but HO LED's that are specifically made for growing corals. Other LED's don't put out the required PAR to keep anything alive. HO LED's are still quite expensive, so if I were you I would go to T5's. Your corals will look and grow better.
