Any fluorescent bulb would be fine for additional lighting.

For my dragon's setup I use a double florescent fixture, 4' long (I have a 5'x2'x2' cage for my bearded dragon). I place one repti-glo 8.0 (or it may be a repti-sun, can never remember which one is made by Exo terra) and a regular full spectrum florescent tube to provide light throughout the cage. For a basking light I use a halogen flood light or similar. This keeps my cage nicely light without heating up the cool end.
