My leopard gecko's light died. Is a 15W LED okay to use temporarily?

Question

I have a fancy leopard gecko. His light died and all I have in the house are 15W LED’s. I cannot get to the store until Tues. will this light be okay until I can get to the pet store to get a new bulb? Pet's info: Reptile | Iguana | Female | unspayed | 0 lbs

You can use this bulb but it will do nothing but provide light, which is fine, if only for a few days to a week at most. As a side note, all UVA/UVB lights should be changed every 6 months regardless of whether or not they are still "working". The light will no longer be producing UVA/UVB after 6 months.
