Grubs are rich in protein & fat, and are even eaten by some survivalists. They are ok as an occasional treat, but might not be the best staple feeder. The thing you want to watch out for is that they are collected from a fertilizer-free area.
Many people use regular (house-type) incandescent or halogen bulbs instead of basking bulbs. You only need the bulb to produce heat, so all you have to do is monitor the temperature in the cage/basking spot to be sure you are using the correct wattage bulb.
