If you want light so that you can see your leo when it's active, you'll need to use a light that it can't see. For this you can use a red bulb (get one with red glass, not just a red coating).
Whatever type of lighting you are using in your cage for the leopard gecko, use timer switches for it so that your leo has a regular and predictable day/night cycle. You might think you'll just remember to turn the lights on and off, but this is not something to rely on as you're bound to forget once in a while once the novelty of having a new and different pet has worn off a little.
Some people think that leopard geckos need a light that produces UV so that they get vitamins they need, but this doesn't make a lot of sense, as being nocturnal they get very little direct sunlight in the wild and don't suffer for it. As long as a vitamin supplement is given and feeder insects are appropriately gut loaded, there shouldn't be any problems with vitamin deficiency.
