Some live plants like cacti are ok but other plants, larger plants will produce too much humidity. Leopard gecko's need a very low humidty else they start to get respiratory infections which isn't something you want them to have. On the light side of things i generally tend to stay away from lights. Leopard Gecko's require belly heat to digest their food so overhead heat lights i think are not satisfactory when keeping leo's. I use a under tank heating pad or (UTH) connected with a thermostat to regulate the temperature at a stable 92f. How old is your leo by the way??? Hope this helps some.
