That's a pretty vague question.
There are many bulbs available and each has its own pros and cons.
Typical bulbs include:
Incandescent (The old style house bulbs)
Fluorescent (Tube and spiral)
Fluorescent UV spectrum (specially designed to allow more UV transmission)
Halogen (High heat output)
Incandescent Spot/flood (PAR 38 Globes, etc)
Mercury Vapour
Metal-halide (Variation of Mercury Vapour)
You need to go and research these types of bulbs on the google.
Every globe emits varying levels of light in the visible spectrum, UV A, B and C and Infrared (heat). A 60 Watt incandescent light also produces far less heat than a 60 Watt Halogen. So Yes, there is a difference.
Do some reading around and come back with a more specific question related to a particular species and bulb/s you're curious about.
