Light Bulb Question

Ive always bought the uva/10% uvb bulbs from pet stores, which usually runs me about 50 bucks. I just read in another post that Mercury Vapor Bulbs will also provide uva, uvb, and heat. Are these a sutable alternative? Do they provide enough uva, uvb?

I have a Savannah Monitor right now who will be needing a bigger cage in a few months when I move into a bigger place. I am planning on building a cool expandable cage which will be about 8 feet long and will need more bulbs for it. The mercury vapor bulbs are quite a bit cheaper online. Anyone have any advice?

One more question I forgot. If I had the cage under a window so it got natural sunlight for say half the day, could I get ride of uva / uvb bulbs altogether and just worry about heat?
