the previous answer was wrong. since turtles are cold-blooded, they need an external source of heat (or light that is absorbed by the body to heat it up) to survive. In the wild, they sunbathe, but if they are kept indoors, they need a heatlamp to provide them with the warmth they need. It is an absolutely necessary peice of hardware if you want a turtle as a pet.

If they don't have UVB or UVA light, their body will grow until their shell can't take it anymore and 'pop', dead turtle.
