You can use the regular light bulbs you get from Walmart or anyother store, but you still need to have the UVB/UVA tube, ofcourse. I read on some websites and books that said you don't really need the UVB/UVA tube for dragon as long as you supplement their diet with multivitamin with vitamin D3 by dusting their food. I've tried with some fence lizards I've caught and it work pretty well to tell you the truth. In addition I also feed the crickets nutritious food like crush dogfood and unmedicated chicken mash which has a lot of vitamin D3, calcium and protien so that crickets are nice and fat. But I'm not sure how that would work with dragons, so to be on the safe side, I'd still provide it with full spectrum lighting tube.
