Trying to figure out lighting for my Crested Geckos new tanks

[TheBlindBandit]

Hello there!
I was hoping someone might be able to give me advice on the type/size/etc of bulb I should be getting for my crested geckos new tank

It's a 16 wide x 16 deep x 30 high screened tank.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited. I want to be sure my little guys are happy and healthy.

Technically your nocturnal crested geckos don't even really need lights as long as there is ambient light in the room. I do have lights in most of my crestie enclosures because of the plants. There is one gargoyle enclosure and one crestie enclosure that has no plants and no special lights and they are fine. The gargs are over 10 years old and the crestie is over 5 years old. If you want some kind of light, I imagine a regular dome light with a LED or compact florescent light should be fine.
