No, you can't use basic light bulbs and grow good bud.
You can grow with Compact Fluorescent bulbs, but the best weed is grown with High Pressure Sodium, or Metal Halide bulbs, ideally a mixture of both.
Compact fluorescent lighting is cheap to buy and cheap to run, but you won't get the big dense buds.
HID is more expensive, but worth it.
I don't know what UK prices are for HID lighting, but I'm sure you can find basic prices online.
