A fluorescent light is more effective for plant growth. An incandescant bulb will only raise the temperature of a tank. If you're not growing plants, you don't really need a light.

A 15-watt fluorescent is fine. I use "plant and aquarium" fluorescent bulbs, which can be bought at Walmart or home improvement stores more cheaply than at pet shops. For caudates, you don't need any special UV light.
