Lighting that imitates natural lighting is excellent for aquariums, it helps both the fish and the plants, as fish, like most animals, require sunlight to remain healthy.
That said, incandescent lighting is worse for an aquarium than no lighting at all, it causes dangerous temperature fluctuations and does not provide the correct spectrum of light needed for fish and plants, the type of light you need is a full spectrum fluorescent.
The disadvantages of lighting is algae, so you should try to light only with artificial light (a fluorescent bulb), and not keep the aquarium near a window. The reason for this is that if you do get Algae, you can reduce the amount of light temporarily to help control it.
