Yes you can!
Go for a "full Spectrum" bulb at a color temperature around 4000-6500 Kelvin.
Do not bother for special lampsfor reptiles as they usually give "alot" NIR-light (near infra red). I would neither bother about special plant lamps as the light look terribly and the cost is much higher without beeing sufficient better!
Some information:
There is nothing called "degree Kelvin" (°K), you do not use "degree" when measuring Kelvin temperatures. You though do when you talk about degree Celsius (°C).
