Stick with the CFL you don't want the incandescent bulb. CFL bulb with a kelvin rating of 6500 is what you're looking for. You're distance from light to tub should be just fine.

In an ideal world you would want to get something like this light
 Get them at Petco. There will be all sorts of different ones for all sorts of different animals, but they will all have the Kelvin rating very clearly stated on the box. The fluorescent reptile lights are almost always 6500K, and ideally, when you have the money for it, you will want two light fixtures. One 6500K light over the top of your tub, and one 6500K light hitting side.
Now just about every time that I post this the OP tells me that they aren't looking to spend that type of money; they are just looking for what will work best for the least money. That is very understandable. When I first started this hobby I was in the same boat. If this is the case for you, and you do not have the money to drop on a lighting set up then what Hacker420 linked for you is your best deal. When you are ready you will want to get a set up with the lights I showed you. If you are like the vast majority of people who have been involved in this for a little while, you will see that you are going to drop a lot of money on this hobby.

I used to use on of those leftover from when I kept chameleons, found that I got a huge amount of mutants. Switched to a cfl and mutants gone. In retrospect the mutants were deformities, they looked cool tho.

Huh I don't think the light would cause mutants. You should give the light another go.

Pretty sure the high levels of UV were the culprit. I got some regular cfl now and they work just fine.
