I wouldnt recomend you using anything but PowerSun or a comparable Mercury Vapor Bulb. Its not worth the frustration, vet bills, or harm to your animal. They will look like they are doing fine and then before you know it, you have a bad case of Metabolic Bone Disease. Lighting is one of those things you cant afford to skimp on. P.S. Reptile bulbs only produce UVB for 1 yr, thats just something you need to know and accept.
Good luck with your Gu, he/she will be a monster before you know it.
You can also use the reptisun 10.0. It's not as good as MVB but it does it's job and is perfect for small enclosures that allow your animal to get real close to the bulb. Only last for about 6 months though. I used it when my tegu was young and I still use it on the cool side of my 8x4 enclosure.
