I think most people get the 5.0 UVB bulb.

UVB bulbs emit both UVB and UVA rays.They'll also need a heat source (like a regular incandescent bulb).

First of all, hi all. I was wondering can I use my desk lamp ( it warms the basking area pretty good, RES is always coming out to bask ) in exchange for UVA bulb? I also have an UVB light provided.

GNCD > yes. many people on this forum use a regular incandescent bulb for heat+UVA and a UVB bulb as a second bulb.
