does it matter what light bulbs i put in my aquarium lid?

i misplaced the original bulbs, and i'm not sure if i can put any kind of aquarium bulbs in them. does it matter? oh, and also, is it possible to get a new lid for a top fin 10 gal starter aquarium? like, are 10 gal aquariums the same size/shapes? thanks!
oh, yeah i have a freshwater tank

Obviously, you'll need a bulb that fits the socekt-- if it is an incandescent socket, you'll need either an incandescent bulb or a swirly fluorescent bulb. If it's a standard fluorescent tube socket, you'll need a standard fluorescent tube. Getting fancy, the spectrum will not matter unless you are trying to grow photosynthetic organisms (plants, corals, certain saltwater invertebrates). For freshwater plants, a spectrum between 5,500 and 6,700K is ideal. Corals and inverts generally need between 10,000 and 20,000K, and the lower the Kelvin temperature, the more need for additional actinic lighting.
