I have 2 UVA/UBB bulbs in my 60 gallon tank...both fluorescents. The 12" one was $14.99 and the 24" one was $24.99. Sounds about right for pricing...

If it's an ESU coil light, Petsmart sells them for $19.99 (they can be bought more cheaply on-line, though). The light doesn't give off heat, so you still need to use a heat lamp. You can use a regular lightbulb; basking area should be 88-90F.

Same here, I use a ceramic heater for heating.
