Consumer bulbs do not typically emit UVA or UVB, so you can’t simulate the sun with just one bulb.

No, UV radiation doesn't matter at all for this purpose. The only thing that matters is brightness of the visible spectrum, especially blues and greens. Buy the brightest white light lamp you can find, those that treat Seasonal Affective Disorder are good.
