Yes
As long as the led is at least the same wattage as the amount of gallons the tank is.

Anubias love very low light as too much algae growth on there leaves can cause leaves to wilt/die. Java fern is prob one of the easiest plants to take care of.

What size tank and what's your budget? The short answer is yes, but not all LEDs are the same. I don't think using watts per gallon is relevant to anything other than T12/T8/CFL lighting. LEDs especially.

I recently got a new tank and it came with some cheap LEDs. Before I upgraded my lights I had some anubias in there growing fine. Most low light plants should work with LEDs.
