I used the UV Mercury Vapor Lights. Zoomed has the 'Powersun' line:

There are also ones by T-Rex and a couple other companies.

I also used a 4' Reptisun 5.0.

I am using the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 Linear Fluorescent for UVB. I have a 4 ft long cage that is 2 feet high and wide, and I have two 4-ft 10.0 fluorescents and three basking bulbs. I use about anything for basking, all I need from them is heat.
