Uvb or uva isn't necessary as long as you are supplementing her food with calcium (with vitamin D3). She will need calcium with vitamin D3, calcium without vitamin D3 and a multivitamin supplement. Leopard geckos do not bask so it would be a better option to get an under tank heater mainly because they rely on belly heat for proper digestion. With a heat lamp the insides of her hides don't provide belly heat. A proper under tank heater with a thermostat will allow her to go into her warm hide and digest her food comfortably. Here's a link to a supplemention guide regarding how often you should supplement her food depending on her age.
