Can I put an LED next to fluorescent?

I know I can, but is it a bad idea?

I've got a Hydrofarm 4' 4 tube T5 fixture, which I like a lot. Thinking of getting another light, which would be side by side with my current T5. Here's the ignorant question, will plants suffer if my t5 is going to throw its light on plants that are primarily under a new led?
 
I started tomato plants under a mix of fluorescent and LEDs last season and they didn't seem to mind it one bit.
