Okay, first, what size is your planned enclosure.  Nothing less than a 40 gal breeder tank will see a dragon through out it's whole life.

The most highly recommended florescent light (uvb) would be the ReptiSUN 10.0 linear tube.  Couple that with a house hold flood light or a 90 watt light bulb, and you've got pretty much all that is needed for most set ups.
Hope this helps.

Just ask your supplier for a 40 gallon BREEDER tank... it is wider than a normal 40 gallon.

Along side the above mentioned uvb, you will want THIS:

Just use a regular house hold light bulb, or a low wattage house hold flood light.
Hope this helps.
