If you currently using Lightning and have an open channel and want to receive BTC through Lightning then that Node ID should be considered as your wallet address.
No, the "
Lightning Node ID" can't be used to receive bitcoins through lightning, thus, not considered the same as an address.
In lightning, it's his "
Lightning Request" that acts like an address. It's the invoice that starts with "
ln".
For clarification, you can find the Lightning Node ID in "
Wallet->Information".
